Chanpurū (Okinawan: チャンプルー Canpuruu) is an Okinawan stir fry dish. It is considered the representative dish of Okinawan cuisine.[1][2] It generally consists of tofu combined with some kind of vegetable, meat, or fish.[2] Luncheon meat (such as American Spam or Danish Tulip), egg, moyashi (bean sprouts) and gōyā (bitter melon) are some other common ingredients. Spam is not typically used in mainland Japan, but it is more common in Okinawa due primarily to the historical influence of its introduction by the US Navy. Chanpurū is Okinawan for "something mixed" and the word is sometimes used to refer to the culture of Okinawa, as it can be seen as a mixture of traditional Okinawan, Chinese, mainland Japanese, Southeast Asian and North American culture. The term originates from the Malay and Indonesian word campur (pronounced "cham-poor"), meaning "mix".[3]
Long a local specialty only found on Okinawa, chanpurū has in recent years, through television shows and increased interest in Okinawan culture, spread to many restaurants on mainland Japan.
