So, what exactly are all of these components?

Miso paste is a Japanese seasoning that has been used for centuries. It's made of fermented soybeans, salt, and kji, a mould used in the production of soy sauce, sake, and other foods. It has a savoury taste that is sometimes referred to as "umami" in Japanese cuisine.

Sambal oelek is an Indonesian chilli sauce or paste that often includes ginger, rice vinegar, garlic, and lime juice, among other ingredients. It gives your ramen the perfect kick and is easy to find in stores or make at home.

Nori, which translates to "sea vegetable" in Japanese, is a form of edible seaweed. It's most often available in papers. You've already had nori before if you're a sushi fan.

Shichimi togarashi is a seven-spice seasoning mix that includes red chilli peppers, Japanese peppers, orange peel, sesame seeds, ginger, nori, and other seeds. If you can't find any, you can substitute black sesame seeds, though shichimi togarashi is readily available online for a reasonable price.
