Saimin is a comforting Hawaiian noodle soup made with wheat egg noodles in a light dashi or shrimp-based broth, topped with ingredients like kamaboko (fish cake), char siu pork, green onions, and sometimes scrambled egg strips or spam. Developed in Hawaii during the plantation era, Saimin reflects the multicultural roots of the islands—blending influences from Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Native Hawaiian cuisines. Originally served in plantation camps, it became a staple in diners, local restaurants, and even McDonald’s menus across the islands.
