How would you make a chicken broth version if you are allergic to seafood? What would I need to add/substitute?
Hi it would be hard to make without any seafood as the base of this ramen is dashi and they are made from dried bonito.
You can still make it though but the taste will not be similar, and to make a good chicken stock is by using lots of chicken bones boiled for a long time, simmer them with crispy garlic and shallots for a deeper intense flavour.
