As a rule, classic ramen is prepared with wheat noodles and from improvised ingredients — what is stale in the refrigerator. I suggest using buckwheat noodles. Firstly, it does not fall apart like wheat, and secondly, (yes, yes) it does not contain gluten. I anticipate your surprise at how quickly such fragrant ramen actually cooks! Do not forget that its main trump card is a delicious, healing broth, and for it you need the most valuable ingredients — chicken bones and juicy, fragrant vegetables.
