WHAT ARE RAMEN?
Ramen are Japanese noodles of Chinese origin, served in a bowl of broth, usually miso. They can be accompanied by various ingredients such as meat, vegetables or eggs, offering an infinite variety of flavors. There are many ramen restaurants in Japan serving these delicious noodles.
Instant noodles are a very fast, industrial version of the classic ramen. They can be found in bags or cup noodles at very affordable prices in Japanese grocery and other stores.
WHICH NOODLES ARE USED IN RAMEN?
There are two types of ramen noodles: smooth and wavy. They are made from wheat flour, water, salt and kansui (alkaline water). Somen noodles are often used for ramen.
SOMEN
Somen are thin, long, white wheat noodles. These noodles are little known outside Japan, yet they're quick and easy to prepare. These are the noodles most often used to prepare ramen!
THE UDON
Made with soft wheat flour, udon are a popular type of noodle in Japanese cuisine. Although thicker and more fragile than ramen noodles, they can also be eaten in a bowl of broth. They are one of the most popular noodles, along with ramen and soba.
