NOOD TYPES
Shio Ramen
Salt-based soup broth
Shio means salt in Japanese. Lighter in colour and sometimes near clear, shio ramen is a traditional ramen style. The soup base is made from salt, chicken, fish, vegetables and sea weed.
Tonkotsu Ramen
Pork bone-based soup broth
Tonkotsu means pork bone-broth in Japanese. Thick, creamy and often a pale colour from pork marrow that has been simmered into broth itself, Tonkotsu is the holy grail of ramen broth when done right.
Miso Ramen
Miso-based soup broth
Miso is made from a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and kōji. Miso can taste salty, sweet, earthy, or savory depending on how it is fermented. This is a vegetarian's blank canvas of ramen broths.
Shoyu Ramen
Soy sauce-based soup broth
Shoyu means soy sauce in Japanese. A common broth, it relies heavily on its tare and dashi for its flavour. Not to be confused with miso, shoyu also relies on fermented soybeans to produce the soy sauce base.
