As the sun sets sooner, one is always drawn to a slurpy ramen bowl for late evening snacking, or even a post-midnight kitchen raid. If you love ramen and want to recreate that comforting bowl at home, SOI Wasabi’s just-launched DIY ramen kit might be just the thing for you. We recently tried one, and it turned out to be a fun culinary experiment. 

First up, we ordered single bowls of spicy miso ramen (Rs 325) which had mushroom, hot chilli oil, noodles, nori sheets, and the chicken shoyu ramen (R400) which included sesame, soy, noodles, burnt garlic, nori sheets, half-boiled eggs and chicken; both came with umami broths. We were hoping it would be something we could assemble. Unfortunately, it came pre-assembled — we only had to pour in the broth. It was not what we expected, so we called for a kit to assemble the next day. The drawback is that you must order at least four portions because it only makes logistical sense for the brand.
