For many Japanese people, hardly a week goes by without ramen, as the dish is highly valued as a delicious and varied snack. Tokyo boasts countless ramen restaurants offering a wide variety of recipes for the soup.

The typical ramen noodles, which give the dish its name, are a staple ingredient and indispensable in every recipe. They are boiled in water before being added to the broth along with the other ingredients. The broth comes in four varieties, depending on personal preference. It is made from soybeans and boiled bones or fish, and seasoned with spices and miso paste. Traditional vegetable or meat broth can also serve as the base for a ramen recipe. In addition to the wheat noodles, fresh vegetables such as mushrooms or spring onions are commonly used in ramen. Meat or tofu, as well as a boiled egg, are also included in almost every soup. Chili and ginger add a touch of spice and, together with lemongrass and fresh coriander, give the dish its typical Asian flavor.

Since the soup is quick to prepare and easy to adapt, it's perfect for people with little time. Our basic recipe is the ideal companion for the winter months and can be enhanced with other ingredients according to taste.
