Is Ramen made with seed oils?

Q: Is Ramen made with seed oils?

Depends on the shop. A good tonkotsu or shoyu broth is mostly rendered pork or chicken fat, but many shops finish bowls with a seasoned oil (mayu) made from vegetable oil, and the chashu is often seared in it too. A large bowl is estimated at about 4g of seed oil PUFA.
