Aroma Tracking Mission!

My nose caught that rich, salty broth scent drifting all the way from the kitchen counter! I sprinted across the table and marched right up to a tall paper noodle cup sitting by the kettle. The lid was peeled halfway back, showing dried veggies and curly noodles resting inside! I braced both hands on the paper rim, stood on my tiptoes, and took the biggest, deepest sniff of my life. It needs hot water to become real ramen, but just guarding this cup made my stomach roar with excitement!
