Here at Ramen Hero we get a lot of questions, from what Honkaku means (authentic) to how long our ramen kits stay good in your freezer (about six weeks), but there’s one question that we get more than any other: Is it ok to add my own toppings to my ramen?
First things first, not only can you put on your own toppings, you should put on your own toppings.
We’re always experimenting in our kitchen - remember the time we made a Thanksgiving ramen with turkey and mashed potato? - and we encourage you to as well. Once you’ve made any of our bowls a few times and have the hang of the basics, you should feel free to try out whatever toppings inspire you.
But while we really do encourage people to become their own Willy Wonkas of ramen, we also want to provide some basic toppings guidelines to help ensure your customization experiments have the highest rate of success possible.
