9— Notes

101 egg per person is best.

112 minute noodles work fantastic. For a more noodly ramen 1 packet per person or 1 packet between 2 people.

12Lemongrass in produce fridge section.

13Some items in asian grocery aisle at woolworths and coles if you have difficulty finding them.

14Try to source salt reduced products where possible. As the combination of bacon miso and soy sauce produces a very salty broth.

15Try to avoid removing ingredients as this will affect the flavour of the broth.

16Other topping ideas:

17- Sliced mushroom

18- Raw meat (beef, chicken, pork are common). Add in after removing garlic ginger and bacon. adjust cooking time as needed.

19- Cooked meat. Add in at end to heat through.
