took me a long time to realise what Americans meant by ramen. Especially when they considered it low budget food. Instant noodles are not really ramen

    I assume it’s a regional thing. “Instant ramen” are noodles or 2 minute noodles here. It’s rarely labelled as ramen and never called it.

    From childhood I knew about ramen from anime and I knew about instant ramen from American media but I didn’t learn until later that they aren’t the same thing and instant reman is just 2 minute noodles.
