Customize Your Ramen
If you’ve gone to college, been down on your luck or simply like the taste of noodles, chances are you’ve had the good old standby, Ramen noodles, a time or two. People who are on a shoestring budget often eat their ramen plain, but once you’ve grown up or at least got a couple of bucks, it’s time to add a little nutrition and variety to your noodles once you’ve got the whole, you know, boiling them thing down.
Toppings like eggs, veggies and meats are pretty common among Ramen eaters. Fish is another popular addition to the broth and noodles in Asia, especially when prepared with soy sauce or miso. Tiny flavorful green onions are a favorite, and some people like to add radishes, carrots and other vegetables. Pork, especially ham, is another popular ingredient. The dish is catching on as a more upscale item. Some restaurants even prepare nothing BUT ramen.
