Ramen (ラーメン) is one of the most popular Japanese foods. Chinese style noodles are served in a savory broth and topped with sliced meat and vegetables. Common flavors of the soup are soy sauce, miso, and Tonkotsu (pork bone broth). While there are many ramen specialty restaurants in Japan and around the world where you can have delicious bowls of ramen noodles, making good ramen at home is not that hard as long as you have the right ingredients.
There are roughly three types of ramen noodles you can get at Japanese or Asian markets: semi-dried noodles, dried Chukamen, and instant ramen. If you have a Japanese market nearby, you can probably find semi-fresh ramen noodles in the refrigerator section. They normally come with packets of concentrated soup. Semi-fresh noodles have great texture, and they taste closer to restaurant-style ramen. Another good choice for noodles is chukamen or dried Chinese style wheat noodles. They are similar to dried spaghetti noodles. You can just follow the instructions in the package and boil the chukamen noodles separately before serving with the broth.

You can add some vegetables, eggs, meat, or seafood, and make it a hearty meal.
