Recipe with the last word in noodles (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ramen

'noodles' is the definition.
(ramen is a noodle soup)

'recipe with the last word' is the wordplay.
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation in medical prescriptions).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'the last word' becomes 'amen' (last word in a prayer).
'r'+'amen'='RAMEN'

'in' acts as a link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
