You Will Soon Be Able to Make Fancy, Restaurant-Style Ramen at Home

It used to be that instant ramen was the pride and joy of broke college students. After all, a $5 bill can feed you for weeks. Now the door has opened for fancy, and no doubt more expensive, ramen to become the norm.

Sun Noodles, provider of artisan noodles to restaurants such as Momofuku Noodle Bar and Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop, both in New York, will be teaming up with Whole Foods for instant, restaurant-style, Japanese noodles.

The build-your-own ramen kits will be available in Shoyu- and Miso-based broths, and can be mixed with any vegetables, seasonings or meats. Of course, the fresh and fancy noodles need to be refrigerated, unlike your normal instant ramen.

Kenshiro Uki, general manager of Sun Noodle New Jersey, said, “We are excited about our partnership with Whole Foods Market which will make our products readily available to anyone who enjoys Japanese ramen in New York City.”
