Notes

The bullion brand we like to use is Better than Bullion.
Notes cook the eggs for 7 minutes, 6 minutes makes the eggs still too soft and uncooked. So keep an eye on the time I think the past 9 minutes almost make the egg too hard.
Miso, you can use whatever flavor you like, if you want a nice flavor the Hikari Haccho miso is really good, and same with the red miso. Light or white miso has some flavor but not a lot.
Get the Three Crabs Brand Fish Sauce. It has 3 crabs on the bottle the best fish sauce at an HMart or Pacifica Ocean Market.
The ramen cooks super fast so be careful to not overcook. Pull the noodles out when al dente since it will continue to cook.
Adding a small amount of white vinegar and baking soda to the water when boiling the eggs helps when peeling the eggs.
Older eggs are way easier to peel than new eggs. We have had allot of success with Costco cage free eggs (brown eggs).
