Bowl of Ramen

Japan's beloved noodle soup served in a deep ceramic bowl/World Cuisines

Ramen originated as a Chinese import to Japan in the early 20th century and has since become one of Japan's most iconic dishes. A standard bowl contains wheat noodles in a broth that may be based on pork bone (tonkotsu), soy sauce (shoyu), miso, or salt (shio). Toppings typically include chashu pork, a soft-boiled egg, nori, and green onions.
