Inspired by your posting in the forum I decided to make this today (I didn't know Mah Mi until now). Very, very tasty! I only give it 4 stars because I had to make some exchanges (hubby is allergic to porc and cucumber and I can't eat noodles, so I took chicken and zucchini). I had no ramen seasoning either so made it up with spices I usually put in Asian dishes. But the main thing was to sauté garlic, ginger and sesame oil, I never made such a soup! This will be a keeper, thanks!
