Ramen Noodles
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, & 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.
Storing
Store dried ramen unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for 6 to 8 months. Store fresh ramen in the refrigerator, and use within a few days.
