Make This Rich and Hearty Paitan-Style Ramen in Next to No Time Recipes

When it comes to comfort food, ramen ranks high. What’s not to love about thick, toothsome noodles swimming in a rich, savory broth? Paitan ramen is one of the coziest because of its thick and creamy broth. Perhaps you’ve ordered it at your favorite Japanese restaurant and loved how luxe it is but never considered making it at home. Making any ramen broth from scratch takes time, so we’re always up for a weeknight shortcut.

6 Things That Japan Taught Me I Really Need in My Kitchen Tools

When people find out I just got home from a two-week trip to Japan with my mom, they invariably say, “I’m so jealous! It’s totally on my bucket list.” And I say, “Yes, up until a few weeks ago I was on your side of this conversation!” I have spent my whole life wanting to go there, and for a recent big birthday (cough) my mom made it happen. It totally lived up to expectations: the temples, the culture, the beauty, and, of course, the food.

In an effort to change things up, I turned to teriyaki.

What kind of cybernetic enhancements would you get, if you could get any kind of cool mechanical devices attached to your body?
