This was the perfect way to use up all the ginger and scallions I have left over! I added cilantro and lime at the end, and cooked the chicken in broth with garlic and ginger which added lots of flavor! I don’t think I will use soy sauce next time as the ramen was pretty salty to begin with, but otherwise loved this recipe!
