Japanese broth recipe's the last word (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ramen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'japanese broth' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'recipe's the last word' is the wordplay.
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation in medical prescriptions).
'the last word' becomes 'amen' (last word in a prayer).
'r'+'amen'='RAMEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ramen that I've seen before include "Exotic dish" , "Quick-cooking noodles" , "soup" , "Oriental noodles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
