What Type of Noodles to Use For Ramen?!
What Type of Noodles to Use For Ramen?
I'm following the recipe from this website: http://www.bob-an.com/recipe/dailyjc/bas...
I was wondering about the noodles. I bought a pound of "Tomoshiraga Somen Oriental Style Noodles" from Japan. The ingredients are wheat, flour, salt and water. The recipe calls for Chinese egg noodles.
The Japanese noodles I got are straight and not like balls like the Chinese noodles are.
To make it as authentic as possible, should I use Chinese ball-noodles or the Japanese noodles I got from the store?
Thanks.
Answers:
I don't know about those ones you said you got already, but when I read the recipe, it appears that they are actually referring to Ramen noodles. Why don't you just use Ramen noodles from the grocery store? The picture looks to me like it is just those common, Ramen from the store.
That's what I would use, but I will be interested to see if anyone who knows more about this type of recipe has anything else to say about it.
