Ramen Hero - Creamy Chicken Paitan

There are many food delivery services like Blue Apron and HelloFresh (which I have used for a couple of years) that deliver food to your house to cook.  Last month, I went in on a Kickstarter to have ramen delivered and yesterday the first one finally came! 

It was a creamy chicken paitan (chicken broth) and it came with its own menma (bamboo shoots) and seaweed for the toppings and the noodles and broth.  There was also a chicken wing included for the meat.  My thoughts:

I liked it.  It had a nice chicken broth flavor and the noodles were good.  Including the menma and seaweed was a really nice touch as well.  On the direction card, they also included other suggested toppings that you have to provide.  In this case, I added the corn and a soft-boiled egg.  It also suggested green onions for toppings but I didnt have any laying around.  The chicken wing was a bit weird.  It tasted fine but didnt add too much meat to the dish.  I may add some chicken next time.

Fairly easy to prepare.  The chicken wing is in a bag with the broth so you basically boil the entire bag for 10 minutes.  The noodles get boiled for 90 seconds.  And then you throw everything in a bowl, put your toppings on, and slurp away.

Mine looks about the same.
