What drives the calories

The broth is boiled from pork bones for hours, so it carries a lot of fat.
Chashu is pork belly, and each extra slice adds about 50 to 80 kcal.
An extra serving of noodles (kaedama) adds about 280 kcal.

How to make it lighter

Leave at least half of the broth.
Skip the kaedama and the side of fried rice or gyoza.
Ask for less oil (abura sukuname) if the shop offers it.
