Let’s have a great time with Japan Noodles, instant noodles, Japan instant noodles

Called men in Japanese, noodles are a staple in Japanese cuisine. Often viewed of as convenient food, the many types can be enjoyed chilled with dipping sauces, in soups, stir-fried or in salads. This article will guide you through every type of Japanese noodle you may encounter, though of course, there are countless regional varieties to each type of noodle.

1. Ramen

Everyone loves ramen perhaps the most famous of Japan’s many varieties of noodles. The thin and often curly or wavy wheat-based noodle is a little yellow in color. Made of wheat flour, salt, water, and kansui, or a form of alkaline water, the dough is risen before being rolled. The noodles are thought to be imported from China and are sometimes also called chuka soba meaning “Chinese soba.”

Often ramen is enjoyed in a soup made from chicken or pork stock, kombu, katsuobushi, niboshi, shiitake mushrooms, and onions.

Tonkotsu soup is usually cloudy white colored and is a thick broth made from pork bones.

Shoyu ramen is a basic soup with clear brown broth, made with some type of stock and plenty of soy sauce. Menma, or marinated bamboo shoots are common for toppings, as is green onions, kamaboko, boiled eggs, and bean sprouts.

Shio ramen is a little lighter in color, a yellowish broth made with salt and broth. The flavor is lighter as well and the soup generally uses straight noodles rather than curly ones.

Miso ramen is also popular, especially famous in Hokkaido, and may use butter and corn, cabbage, sesame seeds, and garlic.

2. Udon

Udon noodles are the thickest of the Japanese noodles. The white, wheat-based noodles are often enjoyed chilled and dipped in sauce, or served in a broth soup. In their simplest form, the noodles are eaten with thinly sliced green onions and perhaps a slice of kamaboko.

Kitsune udon, or “fox udon,” is topped with sweetened aburaage, while tanuki udon, or “raccoon udon,” is topped with tempura batter flakes. Tempura udon is topped with tempura, or sometimes kakiage. Chikara udon is topped with mochi. Stamina udon usually is topped with meat, egg, and vegetables.

Yaki-udon is stir-fried in a soy sauce based sauce, prepared similarly to yakisoba.

Udon is also popular for use in various nabe dishes. In Nagoya, the noodles are simmered in miso soup for miso-nikomi udon.

Hoto udon is popular in Yamanashi, the thickest of them all and usually cooked in a thick miso soup with many vegetables.

3. Soba

Buckwheat noodles, called soba are usually made with a mixture of buckwheat and wheat flour. If you’re celiac, be sure to look for 100% buckwheat noodles, which are one of the only Japanese noodles you may be able to eat.

Many soba variations are similar to udon ranging from chilled to served in a soup. Zaru-soba is chilled and served on a bamboo tray with little bits of nori seaweed and green onions, then dipped in tsuyu.

After eating the noodles, many people enjoy drinking the sobayu or the water the soba was cooked in, mixed with the leftover tsuyu.

Popular cold soba toppings include tororo, a puree of yamaimo and grated daikon. Tempura is popular for warm soba, as is sansai or “mountain vegetables,” or duck.

Soba is traditionally eaten on New Year’s Eve in Japan, a tradition that is practiced to this day in most of Japan. Called toshikoshisoba , there are many meanings behind the practice, such as prayers for a long, thin life.
