This is a slightly spicy soy sauce ramen that doesn't use store-bought ramen soup base. The spiciness is mild enough for kids to enjoy, but you can adjust the heat to your liking! Also, check out my recipe for Homemade Miso Ramen (Recipe ID: 17390611).

Recipe background:
I wanted to avoid the additives often found in store-bought soup bases, so I made my own.
