Thalia's greek ramen with salmon and fennel

Meat soups Japanese cuisine

I like to play with cross-cultural cooking ideas. Ramen is all the rage these days ,so i was toying with doing a ramen dish for this contest. Ramen is a noodle soup with a rich fatty broth and some protein (often also rich) and vegetables. Since fennel is the subject, I thought about how salmon is a rich protein that pairs naturally with fennel. <br />And where there is salmon, there must be lemon......<AHa!> So that's how I came to the rich egg- thickened lemon soup 'broth' of Avgolemeno!. And of course I had to name it for my beautiful Greek friend, Thalia (which means 'white' in Greek.)
