What is Iekei Ramen? How to Enjoy Iekei Ramen at Home

If you're curious about what makes Iekei ramen unique or wondering how to best enjoy it at home, you've come to the right place!

Iekei ramen, which originated in Yokohama, is famous for its rich pork bone and soy sauce broth, combined with thick, chewy noodles.

With Ramen RAIJIN’s frozen Iekei ramen, you can bring this authentic taste into your kitchen and enjoy it with ease.

 

Iekei ramen is known for its savory broth, and RAIJIN’s frozen version captures this perfectly. The broth, a blend of pork bone and soy sauce, is enriched with chicken oil (chi-yu), creating a rich and flavorful base that pairs beautifully with the thick noodles. Whether you're new to Iekei ramen or a long-time fan, RAIJIN’s frozen option delivers restaurant-quality flavor in the comfort of your home.

A hallmark of Iekei ramen is how well its robust broth complements rice. Once you’ve finished the noodles, try pouring the remaining broth over rice to savor the final flavors. This simple addition turns the dish into a more satisfying and complete meal.

One of the joys of Iekei ramen is the ability to tailor the flavor to your liking. With RAIJIN’s frozen Iekei ramen, you can easily customize it at home using ingredients like grated garlic, doubanjiang for a spicy kick, or a dash of vinegar to balance the richness. These simple additions can transform the flavor and make each bowl unique.

 

When preparing RAIJIN’s frozen Iekei ramen, you can either cook it on the stove or use the microwave—it’s incredibly convenient! No need to add water—simply heat it up for about 7 minutes, and it's ready to eat. Enjoy the rich broth and noodles as they are, or enhance your meal with some grated garlic, doubanjiang, or vinegar for a personalized twist. For an added layer of flavor, dip the nori in the broth, then wrap it around your noodles or rice.

If you prefer a fuller meal, try pairing your ramen with rice—just pour the remaining broth over it to soak up all the delicious flavors.

Please note that grated garlic, doubanjiang, vinegar, nori, and rice are not included with the product, but you can easily use items you already have at home to complete your Iekei ramen experience.
