Ramen

Our 9 year old requested Ramen this week.   She says her mom makes great food but her dad makes really complicated stuff.  Ramen certainly falls into that category!  He makes the stock in a long process which involves simmering konbu (kelp) in water, removing the konbu adding mushrooms, removing the mushrooms, adding a chicken, removing the chicken, adding roasted pork bones, removing the bones and adding a pound of bacon, removing the bacon and simmering some veggies in there.   Crazy stuff, you would never find me making something that complicated.  But wow is it wonderful when he is done.
