~ All About Ramen ~
    Where did that crazy instant ramen that comes in little cups and preshaped bricks come from? Many know that it's some asian delight but the true facts have been hidden. lets travel into the little known facts of Ramen Noodles!!
What exactly is Ramen?
   Ramen is a soup....with noodles...and broth....and commonly with other things like vegitables and meat...it is also instant ramen...or the preshaped bricks and cups you get...i really like the cups cause they have vegitables in them ...vegitables r good...even if they had been dehydrated...
Where did ramen come from?
Way way long ago ramen came from China and was adopted by the Japanese. The Japanese people really loved the stuff...and now in the present, little Ramen shops can be found anywhere in Japan...and other places besides Japan...if you look hard enough...Anyways...yeah...they have lil ramen shops and they make ramen from scratch there!! I hear it is really good...but then why wouldn't it be?? Yeah...so then well people in Japan were really busy, running around making anime, insanely awsome video games, and stopping godzilla from destroying everything...so they needed a way to enjoy there wonderful noodle soup without spending forever to make it....thats when Instant Ramen was created....yeah...some amazing genius...(well u know one of those averge folks in Japan) said " No Prob...I can whip out some good ol' instant stuff" ...and he did...The instant ramen was everywhere in all the little kombini (convenience stores) in Japan ...and people were never the same again.
Good ol' made from scratch ramen!
a varitey of cup ramen!!
What kinds of Ramen are there??
There are a HUGE variety of Ramen....from diffrent flavors like creamy chicken, beef, pork, and chili, to really spicy korean ramen..and chinese type ramen, and thai ramen, ect....I really advise you to go and look beyond the Omaruchan, Nissin, Ichiban and Top Ramen brands to trying out the other brands where you can't read the labels...don't worry theyre all made the same way, so if you know how to boil water...you should be fine. Also I really recomend you try out the REAL stuff..you know the kind that isn't packaged and is made in some shop...if you ever have the oportunity, don't hesitate...and if you have had the "real" stuff tell me about your experience....seen how im still awaiting my chance to do so...::cries::
this is is korean ramen...it is usually spicy
