Observations
What type of noodles for a Japanese ramen?
You can put several types of noodles in your ramen:
* Ramen noodles, which are wavy and yellow/white in color, made from wheat flour, yeast and eggs.
* Sōmen noodles, Japanese noodles made from very fine white flour.
* Soba noodles, made from buckwheat flour and a hint of wheat to ensure their good elasticity.
* Udon noodles, white and rather thick, made with wheat flour.
How to eat ramen?
If you're capable to eat with chopsticks, it's up to you to eat the food in your Ramen with it! You will drink the broth at the end, and don't worry, it doesn't matter if you make noise while sucking the noodles ;-) Otherwise, nothing will replace a good fork (and we promise we won't say anything ;-) ) .
What can I substitute for chicken in my ramen?
You can replace the chicken with another meat (turkey, beef, etc.) or with shrimps.
Is it possible to make vegetarian ramen?
No problem ! All you need to do is replace the chicken with vegetables and/or pan-fried tofu.
What vegetables should I put in my ramen?
Have fun! Here we have chosen mushrooms but you can also add carrots, leeks or bok choy (Chinese cabbage also known as "bok choy").
How long does a ramen last?
If you have leftover ramen, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
Can you freeze ramen?
Unfortunately, we do not advise you to freeze ready-made ramen. You can freeze the preparations that make it up independently (cooked chicken, mushrooms and broth separately) then combine everything on D-Day by cooking your soft-boiled egg.
