Why does ramen need to be kosher certified? 🍜

hello everybody today we're going to talk about ramen noodles how are ramen noodles made and what exactly is the concern so ramen noodles are made in a pretty similar way to regular noodles which for kosher purposes is pretty simple flour water mix it together make a dough out of it squeeze it make it flat cut them into the shape of noodles that part is all good no Kosher conerns at all here's where the kosher issues start in order to get those noodles to instantly rehydrate and become the texture that you expect out of them they have to be first cooked with steam then are now considered reasonably edible on a king's table in that process which would mean that a rabbi would have to be involved in the cooking process meaning to create the steam they're also fried which is why they instantly reheat when you add hot water to them that frying process also would require koser oil and wraid Supervision in order to make sure that it's done properly the other relates to the broth process the way that the flavors come out around the noodle is that extra packet that's all got the good salty goodness in it that's usually made by cooking up various different flavors and extracts including proteins which could very well include and often do include chicken pork beef and seafood all those would be kosher sensitive that means the equipment that made them also has to be koshered before a kosher run and unfortunately that's why kosher ramen noodles are so hard to come by but the good news is kosher ramen noodles are available just keep your eye open and look for them carefully
