A full meal prepared in 20-30 min. Although in Ramen noodle soups besides of the essential noodles everything else can be added, here ALL other ingredients are essential for providing this unique Japanese taste experience.

This Japanese soup beats all others in its richness of flavor and as a satisfying meal. The ramen noodles provide the basis on which the Napa cabbage and straw mushrooms can develop their delicate tastes supported by the full bodied broth and other vege­tables. Absolutely delicious.
