Ramen is Japanese noodles with a broth originally from China. Their name comes from the word la mien, which is the name of a specific type of wheat noodle that is made from finely ground flour and alkaline water. The noodles should be springy and rubbery, cooked “to the bite”. Every ramen chef cooks them a little differently, there are thousands of different versions. The ramen is eaten very hot and so that the noodles do not boil in it, it is eaten very quickly. At the same time, it is permissible to sip loudly so that you get some of the broth in your mouth along with the noodles and you don’t burn yourself.
