Homemade Miso Ramen

Ramen is one of my favorite bowl! I remember when I travel to Japan, I would see ramen restaurants every corner and the restaurants always full of customers. I think it because the weather in Japan cold in winter for most of the year and maybe that is why Japanese like to eat soups and drink hot tea instead of water to warm up their body.

This Miso Ramen has salty flavor from fermented soy bean, also, combine flavor from the bone broth that has a bit ginger and sweet from Mirin which made from Japanese sweet flavor. However, if you are on weight watch, you can cut out the sweet from this menu. It will not change too much in flavor.
