My kids loved this! They said it’s better than the restaurant we usually go to!
Why do you add water before cooking ramen noodles? Just cook it how it says on the package!
This was okay, but the broth was a bit bland. Needs more seasoning.
I think the broth is supposed to be subtle. Maybe you just need to experiment with the seasoning more? Adding garlic or ginger could work too!
Bland? I liked it as it was! Maybe your taste buds are off? Try using more soy sauce next time.
I put some chili flakes and it tasted bomb! Thx for the recipe!
Is it really authentic if I skip the pork? I don’t eat meat. 🤷♂️
too complicated for me. I don’t have time for all those steps! give me instant ramen any day.
I’m not a cook but this was easy to follow! My kids loved it.
So glad you and your kids enjoyed it! Ramen is such a fun dish to make. What toppings did you use?
Followed the recipe but my noodles got really mushy. What did I do wrong? 🙁
The broth was way too salty for my taste. I followed the recipe but ended up adding more water.
I had the same issue! Maybe you should try a lower sodium broth next time. It made a big difference for me.
I ain’t got no chicken broth, so I just used water with some soy sauce. Not the same thing, but it was tasty enough for me. 😂
Ramen noodles vs spaghetti? Why not just use spaghetti? It worked alright, lol!
Lol, I guess if it works for you? But Ramen is kinda special. You sure about spaghetti?
Spaghetti might work, but ramen has its own unique flavor and texture that just can’t be beat! 🤤
Pretty quick to make but I burnt the noodles 😱
This ramen recipe is absolutely delicious! I followed it step by step and it turned out perfect. The eggs were so creamy!
I think ramen is overrated. It’s just noodles in a soup, right? Not impressed 🤷♂️
I get where you’re coming from, but ramen can be so much more than just noodles in soup! It’s all about the flavors and the toppings. You should try a different version sometime! 🍜
Overrated? Nah! It’s like saying pizza is just bread with cheese! You gotta taste the depth of flavors. 👀
Amazing recipe! Tastes just like what I had in Japan. Will definitely make again!
I’m really glad you liked it! Ramen is the best comfort food. Did you use any special toppings?
It was good but I don’t think it tasted anything like the one from Japan. Maybe I did something wrong? 🤔
Just a bowl of noodles?? 5 stars? I don’t think so. Not worth it.
Easy and delicious! Never thought making ramen could be so simple.
I tried it too! Super easy and my family loved it. Thanks for sharing!
Isn’t it just noodles and broth? Seems kinda basic. 🤨
Im loved it! But why is it called Ramen if it’s a soup? Ramen is just noodles, right? Anyway, still very good!
Easy to follow instructions! I made this for my family and they devoured it. Will make again!
So glad to hear it turned out well for you! Ramen is the best comfort food. 🍜
I’ve never made ramen before. Tried this out and it was surprisingly good! Way better than instant noodles!
Ramen is good, but like, is it really that much better? Instant noodles are quick and still tasty. Just saying!
I’m glad you liked it! Homemade ramen really hits different than those instant ones. You should try adding some spicy sauce next time for an extra kick!
Ramen is life! I added extra mushrooms and it was even better!
Totally agree! Mushrooms make everything better. I also like adding some chili oil for a kick! 😋
I tried this recipe and it turned out pretty bland. I think it needs more seasoning. 2/5
I found it really flavorful! Maybe try adding some chili flakes for a kick? 🌶️
Bland? Nah, I thought it was delicious. Maybe you just need to experiment more with spices!
This ramen is SO good! I can’t believe I made it myself. Definitely a 5-star recipe!
This is the best ramen recipe I’ve Tried. Simple ingredients but sooo good!
I didn’t have nori, can I just skip it? The ramen still tasted fine tho. 😊
I don’t think you should skip anything in a recipe! Nori is important! 😒
Skipping the nori is fine, but it does add a unique flavor! Glad you still enjoyed it! 😊
Eh, it was okay. My noodles got mushy. Maybe I overcooked them? Not sure I’ll make it again.
Yum! The soft-boiled eggs were perfect. I added some chili oil for extra kick.
I love chili oil too! Adds such a nice flavor. Did you try any other toppings?
Soft-boiled eggs? More like mushy blobs! I don’t see the appeal. I’ll stick to hard-boiled.
Yum! But what’s the deal with the soft-boiled eggs? they were hard-boiled for me… 🤦♀️
I had the same issue with my eggs! They came out hard-boiled even though I followed the timings. Frustrating! 😤
Absolutely loved this recipe! It tasted just like the ramen I had in Japan. Definitely a keeper!
I don’t know about the pork belly… isn’t that a bit fatty? I used chicken instead.
I used chicken too! It’s lighter and still super tasty. Pork belly is too rich for me.
Pork belly’s the classic choice for ramen. Just gotta trim the fat. Chicken’s okay, but it ain’t the same!
Ramen is overrated and this recipe is just like any other. Meh.
