What noodles do I need to make homemade ramen?
We suggest Kaedama noodles or any of our Authentic Japanese ramen for your ramen fix- ANYTIME! Each packet is portioned properly and has the springy texture that you expect from a ramen restaurant- but without the expensive price.
Cook the noodles for 2:00 minutes for “hard” noodles or 2:30 minutes for a softer noodle. Check out our article on the finer points of ramen noodles here.
