Tips
・The saltiness of each soup stock could differ depending on your heat control. Therefore, you should be really careful about the amount of salt in the last step. Please check the taste first, and then add salt little by little.
・If you put miso paste instead of soy sauce, it will be miso ramen indeed! Moreover, it can be salt flavored ramen too if you put neither soy sauce nor miso paste (Please increase the amount of salt in that case).
・Removed chicken wings can be eaten too. Please season them to your liking.
