When I was young, I used to watch this anime/cartoon, but all I can remember about it is that there is a small kid wearing a yellow jacket without sleeves, whose hair was red. He fights monsters by using his magical glove which, when activated, dispenses food (e.g., red chili, cherries) and then the boy eats the food with chopsticks, and then he gets powers. I don't remember how.
And I think there was a big white "dog" with long ears with the kid helping him with his adventure.
