Rules of Conduct:

  1. Posts must have flair. All posts should be tagged with flair. You can select this prior to posting or after posting. Including the tag in the subject of the title is also acceptable.

  2. Be respectful. Please be kind to your fellow ramen slurpers. We're all here to enjoy ramen in its various forms. Rude comments and posts will be removed. Continued offenses will result in being banned.

  3. Posts must be about ramen. All posts should be about ramen (this is a ramen subreddit after all). Udon, soba, and other noodle types outside of ramen or instant noodles will be removed. Ramen offshoots, like mazesoba, tsukemen, or instant noodle hacks, are accepted.

  4. Limit self promotion. No blog/website/affiliate/other revenue generation spamming. If you'd like to promote something, please limit your self posts to 1 in 10 posts. It's ok to be a Redditor with a blog. It's not ok to be a blog with a Reddit account.

  5. No Low-effort Posts. It may seem desirable to post an image of a t-shirt, or a package of instant noodles, but these posts reduce the quality of the subreddit. Whenever possible, fully-made dishes are preferred over images of packages, memes, or ramen-themed apparel. Homemade components are allowed.

  6. No images of Instant Noodle Packages. This overlaps slightly with no low-effort posts, but we specifically prohibit posts that are only images of instant noodle that are uncooked or unprepared. For more discussion on these, /r/instantramen is a better fit.

Please let the mods know via mod email if you see any violations of the rules above. We try to be aware, but sometimes things slip through the cracks.

ramen at work

Hi! I recently tried the Indomie fried noodles, and would love to bring it to have for lunch at work, but does anyone have any tips for the logistics of making it at work? I normally cook the noodles in boiling water at home. How much water should I cook it in/how long should I cook it for in the microwave? I would probably just bring it in a little microwavable bowl, I can pour remainder water in the sink. Not as good as a strainer but it will do. Thank you so much! :)

Is Ichiran overrated?

It is very common to see video reviews about a chain ramen restaurant in Japan called "Ichiran", but when I went there I was greeted with a very long queue, it took me a couple of hours to get a seat and I couldn't help but notice there was all sorts of nationalities in there, BUT I couldn't see any japanese customers.

The ramen was awesome, as expected, but it was not that different from a less famous restaurant, and this makes me think perhaps this restaurant is overrated or just famous among tourists?

Need Some Ramen Advice!

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for a ramen brand that is easy instant ramen, but healthier than standard ramen. I’m not looking for vegan. Just low sodium, protein rich. What ramen brands do you love that are healthier?

Thank you!

Makin da ramen

I'm excited and this seems like the only place that will appreciate my excitement. I have this amazing recipe for ramen that I used to make when I was living in Denver. All the ingredients were readily available so I made this a few times a month. Since we moved out of Denver 4 almost 5 years ago I haven't been able to make it. I've only recently found the ingredients i need on Amazon! After 5 long years I finally get REAL ramen.

Homemade shio tori paitan

Third ramen dinner in few days, after two tori chintan I decided to use all the spent bones to do a paitan. Well, the broth wasn't very flavourfu, even though I added some fresh carcasses. Other components were good, so let's call it a more then acceptable bowl.

Just add hot broth to cold miso tare?

Ramen noob here. I made ramen lords miso tare and veg broth. Do I just put cold tare in the bowl and add hot broth and mix right before adding toppings, noodles and eating?

Thanks in advance!

Ramen for dinner for my sisters and me 🫡

Alkaline noodles were made by a local Japanese spot & nori were from a snackpack, everything else was homemade. Broth is a simple but clean miso shoyu.

Fast ramen for Kids and myself

Nothing too fancy, I hope you guys like it (my kids certainly did 😉 I made a large portion of pork broth which is freezed and reheated when and how much is needed. Shoyu Tare, some eggs (since it was a fast request I didn’t marinade them). Two types of hotdogs, one is simply pan-fried without anything, the other one is slightly hot with gochuchang sause. Bacon is also pan-fried with some green onions. Corn is straight from the can (if someone has tips on how to prepare it, it would be much appreciated). I had some leftover shiitake mushrooms from previous cooking.

My ramen this past weekend was happy

Broth is chicken bone broth that I simmered for a couple hours with an onion, daikon radish, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and some nori for the first 20-30 minutes of the simmer. Pork belly slow cooked over 8 hours with gochujang being the main flavor.

Poor

Anyone else struggle to buy groceries each month?? Ramen is the most affordable thing I have found to eat. But we can only eat so much ramen… has anyone found a way to spice up their ramen? I don’t like seafood.

Tsukemen at TabeTomo in the East Village, NYC

Tsukemen is absolutely delicious and my favorite style of ramen. The broth was exceptionally rich and everything was cooked perfectly. More Tsukemen, please.

Can never have too much broth because it's the best part right?
