Ramen:ラーメン

Ramen is a type of Japanese-Chinese dish consisting of Chinese noodles served in hot chicken broth or pork infused with original sauce.

The resulting combination is generally divided into four categories:
*Shio ("salt") - The ramen soup is clear, almost transparent in colour.
*Tonkotsu ("pork bone") - The ramen soup is usually cloudy white. It is a thick broth made with crushed pork bones that have been boiled for hours. It is a specialty of Kyushu and is often served with bini shoga (pickled ginger).
*Shōyu ("soy sauce") - This type of ramen soup is made by adding a soy-based sauce to a clear stock usually made from chicken and various vegetables. It is popular in Honshu. A popular seasoning is black pepper.
*Miso ramen is a relative newcomer, having reached national prominence around 1965. This uniquely Japanese ramen, which was developed in Hokkaidō, features a broth that combines chicken stock with the fermented soybean paste miso. It is often topped with sweetcorn and butter.
