COOK'S NOTE: When cooking gluten free pastas, it helps to stir the noodles frequently throughout the cooking process. The gluten free noodles aren't as curly as traditional ramen noodles, but the taste and texture is excellent. I'm really quite impressed with these ramen noodles.
I have a family of meat eaters, so I took Amy's recommendation and added meat to our bowls. Pork, beef, chicken, pretty much any protein will work in this recipe. I'll probably swirl a few eggs into the soup next time as well.
