This very special ramen recipe that features our Dulse seaweed has been created by Great Taste judge, chef director and owner of the Pig Hotel Group, James Golding. It was written for a new recipe book called Food Stories which features recipes using the winning products of the prestigious Great Taste Award.

Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup dish consisting, broadly speaking of 4 parts: tare which is the base flavouring coming from soy sauce and miso (the objective behind the tare is to pack in as much umami flavour as possible), broth made from fish or meat, noodles and toppings like seaweed and pickled bamboo shoots. It's a great option for either lunch or dinner as it's both light and comforting.
