In recent years, ramen kits have brought that hot noodle soup comfort to your homes. In Japan, there are some amazing packs and boxes for high-quality instant and cook-at-home ramen. Internationally, these ramen kits are sent out of Japan so all of us can enjoy ramen that is actually great at home. Case in point: Ichiran Ramen Kit.
Ichiran is a famous ramen shop all over Japan that is popular among travelers and locals alike. You can enjoy your bowl of ramen in the privacy of your own cubicle where it is served right in front of you as the front divider is raised and you are served by faceless hands. Talk about a unique dining experience.
The Ichiran ramen is a classic Hakata tonkotsu ramen made from pork bones and thin, straight noodles. The broth is slightly thick and full of deep flavor. The noodles have the right amount of chew – which is highly impressive for a make-at-home kit.
The box, which in this case, came directly from Ichiran USA.
Within 1 box are 3 individually packed ramen servings. There are Hakata noodles, the soup concentrate which you dilute with 450mL of water, and the spicy red seasoning to add a little or all according to your spice preference.
On the back of the box are the descriptions, nutritional facts and ingredients, expiry date, and detailed instructions for how to best cook the ramen.
It’s so easy. Boil the water, add the noodles, cook for 2.5 minutes, add the broth pack, and you’re all set.
Carefully pour it into a large bowl.
And, you can add your own garnishes, vegetables, and protein like green onions, boiled egg, greens, mushrooms, etc. It’s all up to you, your cravings, and your creativity.
