Helpful Tips

For beginners, using store-bought chicken broth can save time, though it won’t have the same depth of flavor as homemade. To make this more versatile, add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition and color. For those needing a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and ramen noodles.

This Chicken Paitan Ramen can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding more broth if necessary. Feel free to experiment with toppings such as corn, bamboo shoots, or chili oil for added zest.

Pairings

Serve your Chicken Paitan Ramen with a side of pickled vegetables or a light cucumber salad for a touch of freshness. In terms of beverages, green tea or a light, crisp white tea complements the flavors perfectly.
