Hello, darlings! as all of my friends or Instagram followers know, ya girl is utterly obsessed with Naruto! watching Uzumaki Naruto enjoy his absolute favorite thing in life after a mission or ninjutsu training, sure does put ya in the mood for a large helping of Miso char siu Ramen! alas, this recipe was born! I had to do a tremendous amount of research, trial and error, and combinations of recipes. keep in mind, you don’t eat the same sandwich every day, Naruto doesn’t always eat the same ramen, so, please make changes where you see fit!

Ramen
