<p>So what brand of noodle are we talking about? </p>
<p>I often find that the term “ramen noodle” is a misnomer because ramen means “pulled noodle” in Chinese. You start with a glob of dough, turn it into the shape of a log, then bring both ends together, seal & stretch, thereby enlarging the circle. Give it a twist, turn it into the shape of a numeral 8. Bring the 2 connected circles together & stretch, twist, & fold…until you do it so many times that the dough turns into strands of noodle. “Ramen” = pulled noodle. How funny to hear ramen noodle, which means pulled noodle noodle.
Many of the so called ramens are actually just instant noodle, not the real thing…</p>
