Author Notes
I seem to always be craving vegetables and one my favorite ways of consuming them is in a hot citrusy miso ramen. This dish is fresh, nutritious, and quick to make and is a tribute to my favorite authentic soups. The soup is also great the next day - just cook up a new pot of noodles, place them in the bottom of your bowl and pour heated soup over them. —Julia Stotz
