Saimin

Saimin is a noodle soup dish common in the contemporary cuisine of Hawaii. It traditionally consists of soft wheat egg noodles served in a hot dashi broth, garnished with diced green onions and a thin slice of kamaboko. Modern versions add toppings such as char siu, sliced Spam, sliced egg, bok choy, mushrooms, or shredded nori, and when wontons are added the dish is served as wonton min. Each saimin establishment tends to keep its own recipe for the broth, most commonly built from kombu and dried shrimp.
