Ramen

Ramen refers to a Japanese noodle dish that consists of wheat noodles served in a rich broth, typically flavored with soy sauce or miso and garnished with a variety of toppings, such as sliced pork (chashu), green onions, nori (seaweed), and boiled eggs. The dish is known for its distinct taste and texture, which vary based on the region it comes from and the way it is prepared. Ramen has become a significant part of Japanese cuisine and culture, evolving into numerous variations and styles, including tonkotsu (pork bone), shoyu (soy sauce), miso, and shio (salt) ramen. It is popular both in Japan and internationally, often served in specialty ramen shops or as instant ramen noodles in convenience packaging.
