Should you salt ramen water?

What makes ramen stick together?

Should I cook ramen in the broth?

Noodles: The ramen noodles should be cooked in boiling water just before serving. Boiling the noodles in the broth can result in gummy noodles. Instead, cook the noodles separately in just water and drain before adding to the individual bowls of broth.

Can you overcook ramen?

The majority of ramen arrives with a hot broth, which means noodles can overcook if they sit for too long. An overcooked noodle is not just a mushy noodle: It also makes the broth more starchy.

How does ramen cook so fast?
