I had made homemade noodles but they was binding up in the noodle maker. Not sure why but I got frustrated  and just used boxed. Meatballs tasted a thousand times better than they look in the pic. Used some the left over meat grind, added egg and panko and some smoked  nebru7powder. Stuffed them with jalapeno cheddar and rolled in a little  extra panko. Everyone said they was the best meatballs they ever had.

I still got a long way to go on ramen but i'm improving. This batch of broth was a little too much white pepper on accident so when I defrosted this I dilute it with some box broth and then doctored with lots of garlic and ginger paste that I had. With the tare the flavor was really popping.
