Yamasa, Artisanal Miso Ramen Broth Concentrate, Serves 8 Bowls, Gluten Free, No MSG Added, Certified in the Japanese Tradition, 8oz

...fry minced garlic, onion, ginger. Add water to boil. Add this. (Add your desired type of noodles if you really want). Add protein (chicken, tofu, shrimp, pork belly, leftover bulgogi, canned tuna, salmon, yada yada yada), add cut up veggies and all sorts of delicious toppings (Chinese cabbage, red cabbage, cherry tomatoes, watercress, cauliflower, mushroom, seaweed, kimchi, corn, pickled radish, fish cakes, some peanuts, edamame, bonito flakes, honestly whatever floats your umami boat). I have sourced these from fresh (veggies, meat), to frozen (veggies, meat), to canned (corn, tomatoes, tuna, spam, etc.), to dry (wakame seaweed, etc.). They are all terrific.Crack an egg and swish or don't swish the yolk. Add a little more salt to taste. ADD SESAME OIL! (or I hear black garlic oil's fantastic too). For those saying it's less flavored, add some chicken bouillon or mushroom powder. Chicken bouillon/mushroom powder should be a staple in your pantry if you're a broth fanatic like me. Add chili powder or your favorite spicy chili crisp (Lao Gan Ma is pretty reliable) for some heat and to change things up.You can buy different sauces/powders to rotate broth flavors. Or mix'em. (I have a tom yum paste and kimchi powder that works out to be much cheaper than this per bowl. There's also shoyu and miso broth bases if you look.)This umami, rich, healthy broth will hit that spot every time. It'll also look gorgeous with the 10 different colors and toppings put into it. Hot, satisfying, filling, and relatively quick and easy after a tiring day's work. You can't mess up the taste (for those like me who can't cook).Now that I think about it, this is like making a personal size hot pot, but much less of a chore of course. I buy some ingredients and have them on hand for at least the rest of the week. Buy frozen or canned depending on your situation. But this is the best way to treat yourself so you have the energy for the next day. I'm writing this only hoping that it'll help another person warm their tummies and their spirit and heart. We've all been there.Yes if you have 10 of the fancier ingredients in one bowl it'll add up. But you can buy smart and start with several. Bulk frozen corn, canned tuna, big frozen bags of chicken thigh or drumsticks, cabbage, frozen cauliflower or broccoli...can be gotten quite cheap and last many bowls of broth later. The thing is, this is healthy and tastes amazing and will absolutely do your body and mind good. Don't go grabbing some quick junk food that will harm your body.

Super easy to make and soooo good. I added grilled onions and green peppers and some Sriracha and it was just perfect. Will definitely try the other flavors!

This stuff is fabulous. Great flavor. Perfect amount of salt. I didn't even add anything which I always have to do with store bought ramen broth. My one complaint is that there is not a huge amount of it in the bottle. I made soup last night for my munchkin and me. Three cups of water went into the pot so I could then add in veggies and noodles and still have broth. Those three cups needed 6 tablespoons of concentrate which dropped me down to half a bottle. That means that each bottle creates roughly six to eight cups of soup, which is not a lot of soup. Don't get me wrong, I will crave this to no end and totally will get it again, but still, it's a little expensive for what you get.

This is a very good ramen broth concentrate. It is very tasty and it has no MSG. I use it in many of my recipes.

This ramen broth concentrate is magic. I love it. It's so easy and so flavorful that I actually use less than the directions suggest. I'm already on my second bottle. Great stuff!

Weak flavored over salted broth that requires more than package to make anything close to resembling tonkotsu. If you add the recommended amount it's a pork soup, but it isn't a tonkotsu. The pork soup isn't bad or anything, but I wouldn't call it ramen. I ended up having to add ~1/3 of the bottle to get a nice creamy tonkotsu base, but the salt content is way too high when you do it. If they released a lower salt version I would be much happier with the product.

Convenient when craving soup

Delicious and easy to make. Is the closest broth I've found to my favorite Ramen restaurant
