Ramen Noodles

Ramen Noodles are popular Japanese noodles made from wheat flour and alkaline mineral water called kansui (lye water). This water gives the noodles their characteristic texture and yellow color. Ramen noodles are versatile and can be used in soups, stir-fries, and salads.

Shio Ramen, translated as “salt ramen” in Japanese, is a classic Japanese ramen variety known for its clear broth. The soup is typically made from chicken broth and Japanese dashi stock like kombu or bonito flakes and seasoned with salt. Compared to other ramen varieties like shoyu, miso, and tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen, shio ramen offers a simpler and more delicate broth.

How to Eat It

Enjoy the noodles using chopsticks for the noodles, toppings, and a spoon for the broth.

In Japan, people slurp noodles and even drink the broth directly from the bowl without using a spoon. While slurping noodles may seem bad manner in some cultures, it is acceptable in Japan and also serves the practical purpose of cooling down the hot noodles for a more enjoyable eating experience.
