In our Christmas party we made duck roast. Whenever we make roast, I make ramen soup with bones left the next day. Paitan means white hot soup from chicken. Ramen soup is not actually very complicated to make.

1.Make stock

Put the bone and vegetables(carrots, leeks, garlic and ginger etc) into the water. Especially with chicken or duck bones, when you keep cooking the stock for more than 3-4 hours, the stock gradually becomes white.This is the sign of good stock of ramen soup.

2. Add seasoning

You can make nice simple ramen soup with sesame oil, salt, black pepper, soy sauce and sake. But… then I think you will notice how much salt you need. That’s because Japanese people think ramen is not healthy food.

Anyway, the next day’s bento. The inside of the bottle was remen soup. My husband was really happy to have ramen on his birthday lunch at work.
