Ramen
Ramen is one of the most celebrated dishes in Japan, often featured in films that showcase Japanese culture. This popular noodle soup is typically made with a broth from meat or fish, seasoned with soy sauce or miso, and garnished with ingredients such as pork or chicken slices, dried seaweed, green onions, and corn. You can find ramen in nearly every city across Japan, with each place adding its own unique flair to the dish. It’s even available from vending machines throughout the country. The origins of ramen are somewhat contested; some believe it was introduced from China, while others assert it was developed in Japan in the early 20th century.

- Soy sauce
- Chicken broth
- 3 medium chicken breasts
- ¼ bag of mixed vegetables
- 1 piece of hot pepper (optional)
- Spices of your choice

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil, then add the spaghetti or Indomie noodles (without breaking them). Also, add the chicken broth, cooked chicken, and vegetables to the pot.
