Homemade Ramen
This Homemade Ramen uses sautéed onion, carrot, garlic, and shiitake mushrooms in a flavorful broth with chicken bouillon, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Udon noodles stand in for ramen noodles, cooked in the broth along with leafy chard. The soup is served hot with garnishes of green onions, radishes, soft-boiled egg, and toasted black sesame seeds to add texture and depth.
