Morphology
The meaning 'a serving of Japanese noodle soup in a bowl' is directly and compositionally derived from 'bowl' (a dish) + 'of' (partitive) + 'ramen' (noodle soup). This simple noun + of + noun construction is cross-linguistically common and follows standard compositional patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The noun bowl of ramen comes from the clear picture of a hot bowl filled with ramen noodles and broth. Ramen came to Japan from Chinese-style noodles and was often served quickly to workers in bowls, so today the phrase means 'a serving of noodle soup'.
