The Shio Ramen
One of the important recipes

"Shio" (salt) ramen is one of the oldest and one of the most important soup recipe. It's the lightest of the four most popular soups with a broth that is made with a lot of salt and a combination of chicken, fish, vegetables and/or seaweed (see kombu).


Shio is often seen as the healthiest major ramen soup recipe even if it is high in sodium. It is low in fat and fresh vegetables are often used, like cabbages, onions and bamboo shoots. The type of noodles that are used most of the time in Shio recipes are straight. For more information on ramen noodles you can look in the encyclopedia, using the menu on the left, but don't forget the recipe sections for japanese ramen and a lot more!

The shio ramen soup is a very old dish that is very popular in Japan. The recipe on how to make one kind of shio soup will be added to ramenlicious soon, so make sure to keep an eye open in the japanese section as it will grow larger in the next few months. Sodium should not be taken in too large quantities though so it's a good idea to consult a dietary guide if you start eating salty meals more often.
