Simple Chilled Ramen

Directions

1. 1
   Add 100 ml water and all of the soup ingredients to a small microwave safe cup, and microwave.
2. 2
   Heat up in increments, while stirring occasionally until the ingredients dissolve.
3. 3
   Add enough ice to Step 1 so that it reaches 200 ml, and cool it.
4. 4
   (If eating immediately, transfer to a large bowl so adding the remaining 3 cups of water is easier.)
5. 5
   Use parchment paper to remove the scum that has formed on the surface.
6. 6
   The soup base is now done.
7. 7
   You can chill the soup base from Step 3, separately or with the remaining 3 cups of water added, in the refrigerator.
8. 8
   If adding the water later, refrigerate it as well.
9. 9
   Boil the noodles.
10. 10
    Place into a sieve after boiling, cool down under running water, and strain the water out again.
11. 11
    Add the soup and your favorite ingredients to a bowl, and you're done.
12. 12
    If you're eating it right away, prepare the soup base in a bowl, add in the remaining 3 cups of water (ice water).
13. 13
    When eating right away (continued): If you don't have ice water, mix 1 cup of water with 1 cup of ice and add this to the soup.
14. 14
    It might be difficult to remove the surface oil.
15. 15
    Using another sheet of parchment paper is a waste!
16. 16
    Please use a ladle to scoop out the remaining scum.
