Ramen night is a common occurance in my house as my boys and husband absolutely love ramen. This Szechuan Ramen is one we came up with by mixing around some things we had done with previous recipes but also incorporating bone broth and Szechuan seasoning from William-Sonoma. Szechuan is known to cause a numbing/tingling sensation on the lips and tongue, just to give you a fair warning. It is absolutely delicious though and you won’t be able to get enough. It does have salt as well so there’s no need to pre-salt or additionally salt this ramen so you don’t go overboard. This is such a comforting dish and we hope you enjoy it as much as our family does.
