Considered to be one of the best soups in the world, it's no surprise pho makes it on my list of best Asian noodle dishes. There's nothing quite as satisfying as a hot, steamy and savory bowl of pho topped with lots of sprouts, fresh mint and basil, rare beef and Thai chilies. GET THE RECIPE
4. Miso Ramen
I love all ramen but I do have a penchant for miso ramen because of its strong umami taste and rich broth. Served with lots of vegetables and a boiled egg, miso ramen hails from the northern region of Hokkaido in Japan. Corn is also often added to the dish to add sweetness and a contrast in texture.

I spent my summers in the south of Japan where tonkotsu ramen is king. The broth is made with pork bones and simmered for hours until the liquid turns milky white. A rich and savory broth like this is unforgettable and I cannot live more than a few days without it. Thankfully, ramen is quickly taking over in these United States and we have Ippudo in NYC.
