WHAT IS JAPANESE RAMEN?

Ramen is&nbsp;a wheat noodle soup often accompanied by thin slices of boiled pork roast, seaweed, spring onions and komaboko. It is a Japanese dish made with surimi and blue fish and often includes aged or marinated eggs in soy sauce. What makes for a good ramen dish&nbsp;is the broth and the way in which the various ingredients are combined to create&nbsp;its unmistakable flavour.&nbsp; 
 
There are many variations of ramen based on broth-type.&nbsp;The four main ones are the Shio broth (light and salty),&nbsp;Tonkotsu (made with pork bones),&nbsp;Sh&ograve;yu (very dark based on chicken and vegetables) and&nbsp;Miso (condiment derived from soybeans).
