Morioka-Style Reimen
Morioka, a few hours north of Tokyo by bullet train, has its own version of cold ramen. It is often served at yakiniku restaurants, which serve Korean-style barbecued meat. A bowl of cold ramen is the way to end a meal. Traditionally, cold ramen from Morioka is served with a piece of chilled fruit in the bowl. Apple, peach, or watermelon are all good choices.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 cups Light Vegetarian Soup
- ½ cup Shoyu Tare
- 12 ice cubes
- 1⅓ pounds noodles fresh, such as Chukasuimen
- 8 slices Chicken Chashu
- 12 to 20 pieces Menma
- Negi
- 4 sheets yakinori roasted nori
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the soup, tare, and ice cubes. Leave the soup in the refrigerator while you prepare the noodles.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the noodles. Ramen that has been cut to a standard thickness (about 1 mm) will cook in 1 to 2 minutes.
- Strain the noodles and run under cool water until the noodles are at room temperature.
- Carefully place the noodles in your ramen bowls, keeping them tidy. Pour the cold soup over the noodles.
- Top with 2 slices of chashu, 3 to 5 pieces of menma, a sprinkle of negi, and a sheet of nori. Serve immediately.

Notes
Nori is made by shredding seaweed and pressing it into thin sheets that are toasted to dry them out. You can find nori at any Asian grocery or health-food store, and more supermarkets are starting to carry it. It will keep for months in your pantry. Look for the plain variety.
