Hiro loves ramen-

with nori seaweed,

briny like the ocean

with nitamago egg,

the yolk golden like the sun;

with chashu pork

so tender, it melts in your mouth.

Most of all, Hiro wants to make the perfect bowl of ramen . . .

just like his dad, and his dad’s dad before that.

Every Sunday, Hiro’s dad make ramen for dinner.

“When I was growing up in Hawai’i,

I watched Grandpa make ramen too,” says Dad.

“That’s how I learned.”
