What is Vegetable Ramen?

Japan is an island nation with little history of immigration. In contrast to much of Europe and the United States, it is not home to people from a variety of different ethnic and religious backgrounds. Nearly all Western ramen shops offer a vegetable variant. In light of our mission to promote the distinctive Japanese culinary phenomenon of ramen on the global stage, we want to ensure that ramen served around the world is more authentic to the Japanese original. To this end, we propose a "global standard ramen" model designed to promote consistency of flavor throughout the world. The following vegetable ramen dishes are prepared in the traditional vegetarian culinary style of Japan.
