In the middle of the summer, I get a call from the owner of a restaurant in downtown Washington, D.C., where I live.
He wants to know if I’ve ever tried ramen noodles, a soup made with ramen beans and noodles that’s often served at his restaurant.
“I’ve tried it,” I say.
“What’s so good about it?”
He says, “I know, I’ve tried a lot of different things.
It’s really delicious.”
In fact, I was so intrigued by this simple, simple noodle recipe, I started researching other ramen dishes that were inspired by it.
Here are a few suggestions for making the perfect ramen.
