Step 1 - Constructing The Bowl
Start with a double line oval and then draw the rest of the bowl as a semi circle. Add the bottom ring of the bowl and then the inner line that is the ramen broth.

Step 2 - Food Elements
Now it is time to add the food. Make a rough shape of the meat slices, noodles and egg. Then focus on each element separately, and make sure they are on different layers to make them easier to manage.

Tangle the noodles as best as you can, play with lines, make a messy sketch, then lower the opacity and draw them with a clean line.

On a different layer add the green onions, and simply erase from the noodle layer where they overlap.

Step 3 - Bowl Decoration
Start from the center of the bowl with a straight line and then curve the lines more and more as you progress to the sides. Notice that the lines are also closer to each other as you move.

Step 4 - Lineart and Contrast
To read the image in a more effective way we need some line variation. Thicken the outline of the food but with a smooth transition.

To make out the details even better, add some contrast with greys, the darkest grey on the inside of the bowl serves as a good background that contrasts the food.
