Fusion foods comes in many flavors. Khao Soi is one of my favorite noodle dishes from Southeast Asia, so I was fascinated to see it on a Japanese ramen shop menu. When I received my order, a treasure trove of ingredients filled my bowl. In a coconut milk chicken broth there were pickled greens, red onions, scallions, crispy noodles, and a chicken leg, with a lime wedge and extra chili oil on the side. A self-proclaimed carb connoisseur, I am always delighted to have noodles on top of my noodles. The use of ramen in this dish was a flavor and texture adventure! Every bite had a slightly different flavor combination, and the ramen noodle was the perfect vehicle for the rich broth.
