About this ramen
This is the Japanese Cup Noodle, the product that launched ramen in a cup, which Nissin now sells in the US. Its soup is a peppery pork and soy sauce broth, built on pork extract, pork fat, chicken broth and cabbage juice. Toppings include dried shrimp, pork sausage crumbles, scrambled egg, green onion and bamboo shoot. Nissin makes it with no added MSG or artificial flavors, and it's ready in about three and a half minutes. Its label lists wheat, soybean, egg, milk, sesame and shrimp.
