ramen
This term refers to both the complete culinary dish and the specific type of alkaline wheat noodles used within it. While it is often associated with high-end artisanal shops, it carries a strong secondary connotation of convenience and affordability due to the global ubiquity of instant varieties.
Grammatically, the word functions as a mass noun when referring to the food substance or the general category of noodles. To specify individual servings or distinct types, speakers typically use partitive constructions such as a bowl of ramen or a packet of ramen.
