Ramen is an oriental noodle recipe that can be made into a hot soup or used as the base of a salad. This soup recipe makes a comforting and warming bowl of tasty soup ideal for a cold winter’s day. Food presented in a bowl is definitely on the ‘trendy’ scene at the moment! My version of ‘home made’ Wagamama!
