Ready in just a few steps, it’s ramen that feels fancy but is totally achievable at home!

    Great way to sample these amazing flavors

    Loved everything in this excellent selection. Will always swear by Fly by Jing, but also really psyched about the soy ginger tuna and the trout with red chimichurri! Both are so special. Just throwing these on salads with some crusty bread for an easy dinner, or pairing with some sautéed veggies and some forbidden rice!
