I think instant ramen noodles was the 1st thing I learned how to ‘cook’.
Then they were a staple in college.
So long 25 cent packages with high salt, TBHQ & MSG flavored packets & not many nutrients.
This super simple recipes elevates instant ramen into a nourishing bowl of soup that has impressively authentic flavor. Plus it was a BIG hit with my family .
* I omitted the miso paste and used Costco’s organic gluten-free millet & brown rice ramen noodles.
