This ‘supereasy ramen’ recipe shows how easy it is to make the Japanese dish at home
TOKYO (AP) — Ramen noodles are so popular that they’ve become one reason to visit Japan.
But ramen can easily be cooked up at home too, especially if you can get the ingredients at a neighborhood Asian grocery store.
Japanese culinary expert Rii, author of the cookbook “Lunches Children Love,” has a recipe on her Instagram for what she calls “supereasy ramen.” It uses packaged noodles, since making ramen noodles from scratch is a long and complicated process.
