A fantastic resource, with lovely bright illustrations and step-by-step directions that are relatively beginner-friendly: tips about what to look for, common issues, storage, and areas for creativity. (Though I'll be honest, I'm a bit intimidated by the sheer scope of the project that is preparing ramen from scratch. Not sure I'll be doing that anytime soon.) I also really appreciate that there are discussions of ramen history and culture throughout, as well as sections from experts, giving context and demonstrating clear respect for this culinary tradition.
