The noodles are tossed with a shoyu-oyster sauce and garnished with local garnishes like charsiu, green onions, and bean sprouts. Served on the side is a chicken flavored broth. The “dry” part of the name refers to the noodles being served without the broth compared to the traditional ramen. Instead the broth is served in a separate bowl so you can dip the noodles to your liking.
