Notes

If you have leftovers, store the broth and noodles separately in airtight containers. The broth can last up to 3 days in the fridge, while the noodles are best eaten within 1-2 days to maintain their texture. Reheat the broth gently and cook fresh noodles when you're ready to enjoy your ramen again!
