Miso is a naturally nutritious ingredient packed with probiotics, minerals and vitamins B, E and K. Add to that ginger’s antiviral properties, the antioxidants of mushrooms, flu-fighting powers of garlic, and the vitamin C-laced flavor of cilantro, and you’ve got yourself a real soul warmer.
Not to mention, ramen is just amazing!
If you’ve never tried to make your own ramen at home, chef Urata’s instructions are simple and straightforward, perfect for getting you started on your personal ramen journey. He’s even included a bonus recipe to make 10 servings of your own miso.
