If you're still mourning summer, consider this huge advantage of the cooler weather: eating bowl after bowl of hot, comforting, carby ramen.
That flavourful broth base, perfectly cooked noodles and of course all the toppings -- pork, tofu, mushrooms, soft boiled eggs, nori, greens, sesame...
Thankfully, you don't have to leave the clutches of your cosy, warm home to enjoy a bowl.
Here are six easy ramen recipes to keep you warm all autumn and winter long.
