The ramen takeover continues. But it’s not like we’re complaining.
The latest addition to the ramen family tree is the ramen burrito, or the Ramenrrito, available at Presstea in West Village, New York City. And unlike your ramen-whatever knock-offs, the folks at Presstea have made what looks like a pretty wicked dish with high-quality ingredients.
It all begins with the noodles. Provided by Sun Noodle, the noodles are prepared to-order, peppered in pork broth and house spices, then dusted with garlic, cilantro and Celtic salt.
From there, you have the choice of filling your Ramenrrito with chicken that has been roasting for six hours, pulled pork that has been cooking for 12+ hours, or your traditional steak. Can’t choose? Fill your Ramenrrito with all three.
Add a few veggies to top it off, including corn, pickled onions and a few greens, and you’re all set.
If you don’t like tortillas (why) and/or you are trying to shave a few calories off your meal (it’s a bit useless at this point), the dish is available as a bowl.
Have any of you tried the Ramenrrito? Let us know how it is so the KoreAm staff can live vicariously through you.
