Varieties
Ramen noodles are available fresh or dried, and in fat-free versions, with a variety of flavor packages. Some ramen noodles may contain other ingredients, like buckwheat, spinach, or rice.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Add noodles to boiling water. To prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Cook fresh noodles for only 3 to 4 minutes. Add to miso soup or top with stir-fried or steamed vegetables.
