Now that the cold weather is coming through your door and entering through your window, the Asian soup par excellence or “ramen” is a good option to warm up. So if you like ramen do not doubt that in Barcelona you can find the best restaurants that prepare it as if you were in the East.
The key to a good ramen is to achieve an excellent quality broth. The flavor is achieved by integrating elements such as good cuts of meat, pork, chicken, handmade noodles with other ingredients inherited from a gastronomy of ancestral tradition.
The first thing before talking about its origins. Ramen is not a purely Japanese dish, but rather a Chinese fusion cuisine adapted to different traditions. Ramen is made with Chinese-type wheat noodles, very common in Asian restaurants.
So this dish is a wheat noodle soup in the middle of an aromatic broth and other ingredients added in the form of a preparation with a very aromatic broth and accompanied by different ingredients, which are added as toppings or coatings.
The soup can be hot or cold combined with fish, meat or vegetarian. It can also be sweet or spicy. The traditional way is to prepare the broth separately and then serve it with the noodles and the rest of the accompaniment.
