FAQ ❓

What type of noodles should you use for Japanese ramen?

You can use several types of noodles in your ramen:
* Ramen noodles, which are wavy and yellow or white, made from wheat flour, yeast and eggs.
* Sōmen noodles, Japanese noodles made from very fine white flour.
* Soba noodles, made from buckwheat flour with a little wheat flour to ensure they have the right elasticity.
* Udon noodles, white and fairly thick, made with wheat flour.

How do you eat ramen?

If you’re comfortable using chopsticks, go ahead and use them to eat the ingredients in your ramen! You can drink the broth at the end, and don’t worry—it’s fine to make noise while slurping the noodles ;-) Otherwise, a good fork will do just fine (and we promise we won’t tell ;-) ).

What can I substitute for chicken in my ramen?

You can replace the chicken with another meat (turkey, beef, etc.) or with shrimp.

Can you make vegetarian ramen?

No problem! Just replace the chicken with vegetables and/or pan-fried tofu.

What vegetables should I put in my ramen?

Have fun! We’ve chosen mushrooms here, but you can also add carrots, leeks or bok choy (Chinese cabbage, also known as "bok choy").

How long does ramen keep?

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 don’t recommend freezing fully prepared ramen. You can freeze the components separately (cooked chicken, mushrooms and broth), then combine everything on the day you serve it and cook the soft-boiled egg.
