Hit English name for Japanese dish (5)
I believe the answer is:
ramen
'japanese dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'hit english name' is the wordplay.
'hit' becomes 'ram' (ram can mean to hit something).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'ram'+'e'+'n'='RAMEN'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ramen that I've seen before include "Exotic dish" , "soup" , "Oriental noodles" , "Quick-cooking noodles" .)
