Homemade Ramen Bowls
Being a soup tragic, it will be no surprise to you that Ramen is a favorite variety of soup for me. Many times have I savored the scolding hot broth, slurping up the noodles in a ramen bar on a winters day in northern Japan. Nothing is better as, outside the wind is blowing, the snow falling to warn and nourish the body, with a bowl of Ramen.
Those freshly made noodles and the umami, jam packed broth, served with a selection of ingredients, makes me hungry now thinking about it. This recipe for Homemade Ramen Bowls created a similar experience for you at home, wherever you may be.
