In this recipe I will show you how to make my own original recipe of Japanese Miso Ramen from scratch, using all-natural ingredients, with no MSG added.
Miso Ramen is very flavourful and it is complimented with springy noodles to pick up the flavour when you are eating the ramen. I used Tonkotsu Fish Soup which is key to the soup recipe.
The preparation time is about 2−3 days as you will need some time for tonkotsu soup, making the noodle, and for the ajitama to marinate. If you wish to learn how to make ajitama (flavoured egg) please refer to my first video where I made Japanese Shoyu Ramen:
