When Kyle Itani of Itani Ramen makes ramen at home, this chicken version is his go-to. The broth is a relatively simple but deeply flavored chicken base layered with fresh ramen noodles, poached chicken breast, soft soy eggs, and a delicate fennel oil.

Other common toppings you can buy include: Bamboo shoots, fish cake, pickled mustard greens, and corn kernels.
