This recipe boasted of being "the best" shrimp ramen, but I honestly found it pretty "meh". Too much soy sauce. Too much sauce in general. Too salty. And just texturally very... disappointing. I think it would've been dramatically improved by cutting the soy sauce by at least 50% and giving the noodles a good fry while the sauce cooks.
