In our recent interviews with Ming Tsai and Ken Oringer, both mentioned the same dish among their lengthy lists of favorites: miso butter ramen from Sapporo Ramen in the Porter Square Exchange. Indeed, the ramen is delicious. If you’ve only ever had the cheap-o Oodles of Noodles “ramen” from the grocery store, you’ve never really had ramen. The real stuff features wonderfully doughy noodles, a broth with a truly astounding depth of flavors and fabulous toppings. The miso butter ramen from Sapporo features two kinds of pork (!), bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, scallions, nori and a perfect pat of butter, which makes everything smooth and almost unspeakably delicious. Don’t believe us? See for yourself.
