Like most good ramen dishes this is quite time consuming as every aspects in the dish is carefully prepared and letting some of the elements sit for some time for the flavours to develop. This process results to a really amazing noodle soup dish, the flavour is robust which you cannot get when you short cut the process. Having said that long waiting times does not equate to a complicated process as this recipe is still quite easy to prepare so I suggest making some of the first ingredients on the weekend so all you need to do during the week day is to combine them together and enjoy slurping the amazing dish you have brought together.
