Ramen with spinach, nori and a side of rice

The story behind the bowl

Minoru Yoshimura fused pork-and-chicken bone soup with strong soy seasoning and thick noodles in 1974. That bowl created Iekei, Yokohama’s most influential ramen lineage.

Before you go: Start with normal noodle firmness, oil and seasoning; the standard balance is already powerful.
