About Ramen noodle

A ramen noodle is a wheat-based noodle made for serving in ramen dishes. It is typically pale yellow and springy, with a firm, elastic bite when cooked; its shape, thickness, and waviness vary. Some versions include alkaline ingredients that contribute to their characteristic texture and colour.

Ramen noodles are sold fresh, dried, or precooked, and may be straight or wavy. They are usually boiled or reheated before serving, and cooking time and moisture differ among forms, so the name does not imply one uniform product.
