Ok, before we even start talking about ramen tutorials, let’s talk about the food itself for a minute, shall we? So, ramen is awesome. Seriously, if you’ve somehow come this far without trying it, hurry up and fix that!
Ramen is in fact Japanese noodle soup, but this plain definition doesn’t do it justice. The cool thing about this dish is that it’s more like a comprehensive meal in one bowl of soup. Other than just soup and noodles, Ramen normally contains pork, seaweed, scallions and eggs, and is flavored with the dominant taste of soy sauce or Japanese miso. Of course, in Western culture it is common to do non-traditional ramen variations including different kinds of ingredients, and even vegan ones based on tofu.
