Ramen

Ramen was born when the Chinese noodle dish came to Japan and fused with Japanese cuisine, combining men (noodles), dashi (soup stock), tare (sauce), ingredients, and fat or oil. There are limitless recipes that include variations in style and flavor, such as soy sauce ramen, miso ramen, salty ramen, pork bone ramen, and dipping ramen. Each region in Japan also has its own local style of ramen that reflects the climate, environment, and cuisine of the area. With its unique evolution in Japan, ramen has now crossed the seas and become a popular dish throughout the world.
