Ramen Broth History
The origins of ramen broth can be traced to the early 1900s in Japan, yet its legacy continues to this day. Chinese immigrants to Japan brought the dish with them from China. It was in Yokohama, Japan, when the first ramen shop was established in 1910.
Chicken or hog bones were used to make the first ramen soup, seasoned with soy sauce or miso and topped with green onions and bamboo shoots. The broth has changed to include new flavors and ingredients, including vegetables, fish, and spices.
Instant ramen, developed in the 1950s, completely altered the ramen-eating culture. It made it possible for anyone to prepare ramen at home by simply rehydrating a packet of dry noodles and spice in boiling water.
Ramen broth has evolved throughout the years to include various tastes and ingredients. The popularity and widespread adoration of this dish has led to the proliferation of eateries serving a variety of ramen broths.
Because of its liquid nature, ramen broth can replenish lost fluids. It is beneficial if you're feeling dehydrated or have flu-like symptoms like a fever or vomiting.

Tips For Making Ramen Broth

• To prevent spilling, use a big pot or one with high sides.
