What is ramen?
Ramen is a Japanese soup, which is very popular both in Asia and in the rest of the world, where it has become famous over the years. The truth is that there is a confusion between China and Japan for the origin of this dish. I have read a lot about ramen’s roots, as it is a meal that I love very much. In one of these searches I have learned that ramen were transported by Chinese immigrants to Japan in the late 19th century as a variation of noodle soup. Be that as it may, ramen is loved by many in every corner of the world and gives us great ideas for new, unique flavors. There are many types of soup depending on the ingredients we use.
What is miso?
Miso is a soy bean paste and is considered one of the most exciting gastronomic ingredients in the world. Specifically, the umami taste of miso is what makes this material so popular. Its natural, strong taste along with a slight sweetness make it irresistible. Miso, in addition to soy beans, can contain brown rice, barley and many other ingredients. In Japan it is used especially in soups, but we can say that it is a material suitable -apart from soups- for sauces, marinades, etc. Also, in addition to its distinctive taste, miso lowers blood pressure and strengthens our immune system.
