Ramen soup?!


Question: Ramen soup!?
I remember having a long argument with one of my friends about the meaning of the word Ramen!. Now, we all know what you get when you order Ramen, but what actually is Ramen specifically!. In Wikipedia it says, 'Ramen can be broadly categorized by its two main ingredients: noodles and soup!.' However, it also says 'Ramen comes in various shapes and lengths!. They may be fat, thin, or even ribbon-like, as well as straight or wrinkled!.' in reference to the actual noodles!. In there lies the argument we had that was never resolved!.

Is Ramen a kind of noodle or is Ramen a kind of soup!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I have bought ramen noodles in a packet at an asian grocer, and ordered ramen at a japanese restaurant, I think like the Tagine from Morrocco, its both the dish and the contents, like ramen is the noodle or the soup, I think!. Maybe a Japanese person will clear it up for both of us!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Okay I have a package right in front of me!. You're speaking to a "Ramen Connoisseur" I eat it almost everyday haha! It says "Ramen NOODLE Soup", so Ramen must refer to the noodle!. also on the bottom of the package, it states that you "can use Ramen Noodles for a main dish if you drain off the soup broth and add vegetables"!. So there you go!. Ramen is noodle!.

These ones were made by Maruchan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it refers to the method in which the noodles are made!.!.!.

Ramen, literally translates as ' PULLED/STRETCHED NOODLE' - the 'Ra' is the former and the 'Men' is the latter, so in effect the term is refering to NOODLES!.

hope that settles your curiosity!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ramen is noodle of Japan!. And there are different types!. There are even instant ramen + soup! But do not ask me if they are healthy, what I know= the more, the worse for your health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry to say that I have never heard of Ramen and I am 63 years old!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
