Goya Chanpuru in Okinawa Japan

Mention of the Okinawan archipelago brings a misty-eyed look to many Japanese. These are their vacation islands, more relaxed than the mainland and with their own distinctive culture. The most famous dish of their indigenous cuisine is the stir-fry goya chanpuru, one of the super-healthy dishes credited with helping the Okinawans become some of the longest-lived people in the world.
