Thanks to Ramen, noodle soups finally are sexy again. Even though most Ramen have a solid common base, there is so many variations in flavour. You can have it spicy, creamy, sweet or sour.

Instead of having a base you can build upon, this recipe offers a complete wholesome flavor, which you can reduce to change in different directions. Same same but different.
