Seafood Ramen
A deliciously nourishing Seafood Ramen....!
Another seasonal situation, a family-wide summer flu, sent me into the kitchen for something fortifying and this nutritious broth has it all to fix it…!
Even if you’re not into broths and soups, this sunshine in a bowl may inspire you to try it….
Seafood Ramen!, A delicious seafood and noodle soup from Japan, with a choice of additional toppings.
This is the kind of recipe where you need to be in control of all the processes because you need to just time about every component, the cooking of the broth, the noodle, and having the seafood ready to go. They all have to be ready to come together at the right moment.
This is how I line everything up so I can nail the execution on time.
