What is the right way to eat Japanese Ramen Noodles? Multiple Choice : 1. Wait till it gets cooler so that you don’t burn your mouth. 2. Eat slowly so that you can enjoy the noodles. 3. Eat as fast as possible to enjoy the hot and un-soggy noodle. Japanese people believe #3 is the correct answer! Ramen is meant to be eaten quickly, by slurping the noodles and using the spoon to drink the soup, so as to get a good amount of noodles with the flavor of the soup in your mouth at the same time. The goal is not to let the noodles soak in the hot broth for too long , otherwise they continue cooking and become soggy. Like pasta, you want to eat your ramen noodles al dente. Noodle dishes are an informal food, so there's no real etiquette to be observed while you eat it: that's why slurping is ok, even encouraged, because you need to draw in cool air as you slurp the hot noodles into your mouth. Since you're going to be slurping, your head will end up close to the bowl while eating (a lot of people look like they're praying into the bowl), to meet the noodles. If you're worried about getting splash-back on your clothes, you can; 1. Pick the noodles out of the soup almost entirely, letting them dry for a bit, then 2. Grab the tail end with the spoon and Slurp the top part of the noodle slowly and "drink" the noodles into your mouth.
