Beef Ramen is actually not traditional in Japan! The primary meat used in classic Japanese Ramen is pork! Due to economic and cultural factors, beef was far less common. Ramen featuring beef didn’t really become a thing until it became popular in the US in the 2000’s! And this was long after instant ramen became popular in many American households in the 1970’s! Pretty interesting stuff! Basically, these quick but flavorful versions of ramen totally upgraded in modern society which paved the way for all the trendy and unique versions we see today!
