"This recipe has been updated to improve your cooking experience (March 2024). Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup with rich, flavorful broths as well as chew, springy noodles, and is an every occasion type of dish. This variation of shoyu ramen is the most widespread style in Tokyo and is based on a broth seasoned with soy sauce. In addition to the variation with shoyu, there is also miso and tonkotsu (not to be confused with tonkatsu; broth based on pork cooking). For this recipe, use light Japanese soy sauce for the best taste and finish the dish with a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi—a common spice mixture in Japan that usually contains coarsely ground chili pepper, Japanese pepper, roasted orange zest, black and white sesame seeds, hemp seed, ground ginger, nori, and poppy seeds."
