We usually have Ramen on a Monday using up any proteins left over from the weekend. Ramen traditionally uses a pork broth but I prefer chicken. The better the stock the better the ramen so it's really worth making your own stock. I have a great recipes for a punchy chicken stock cooked in a pressure cooker. All of the ingredients used to finish the dish can be put on the table for everyone to help themselves and dress the way they likeDon’t be afraid to “free form” with this one but I will point you in the right direction
