Ramen Noodles

Illustration

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.

Buying and storing tips

Look for dried ramen noodles in the pasta section of natural food, grocery, or Asian markets, or fresh ones in the refrigerated foods section of these stores. 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.

Varieties

Ramen noodles are available fresh or dried, and in fat-free versions, with a variety of flavour packages. Some ramen noodles may contain other ingredients, like buckwheat, spinach, or rice.
