Beginner Friendly Ramen Recipes by Makiko Sano

From a quick bowl assembled after work to the slow-cooked depth of traditional tonkotsu, Ramen explores the building blocks behind one of Japan’s best-loved comfort foods.

Makiko Sano starts with broths and noodles before moving through toppings, flavour combinations and complete bowls. Recipes range from light shoyu mushroom ramen and chashu pork ramen to Korean-inspired versions with kimchi and gochugaru, alongside quicker recipes using instant noodles.

Beginner-friendly but detailed enough to explain what makes a really good bowl of ramen work.
