Natty, where are you? Please talk to me. I love you.
Tea, salmon and rice? If the Japanese ate tea and salmon together, why not use tea in ramen? So that's what I did for lunch: used a tea bag instead of miso. Tea is essentially a vegetable broth which we normally consume with sugar. I didn't use sugar but the usual savory items like seaweed, beef bone, salted fish, soy sauce, garlic, onion, carrots with a touch of MSG. There was a ring of scum at the side of the bowl most likely from the fish, which for the sake of the photo, I removed with a swab of toilet paper (which the dumb ass cat stole and ate). The result was a darkened and intensified seaweed broth. It didn't taste strange at all. It tasted like... a bowl of ramen. The cats liked today's ramen. They rated it 5 out of 7. Usually only the boys and mama cat like ramen.
