Few foods are as closely associated with manga as ramen. Naruto’s love for ramen at Ichiraku is perhaps one of the most recognisable examples, but noodles and ramen appear across countless manga. The real dish is exactly as tempting as it looks: noodles served in a flavourful broth, usually accompanied by toppings such as egg, meat, spring onions, bamboo shoots or seaweed. For an easy version at home, start with instant ramen but add a boiled egg, vegetables, spring onion and leftover chicken.
