You can make delicious paitan ramen just by simmering chicken bones! It's surprisingly easy. The noodles and toppings are store-bought (haha).
Recipe background:
I made this because I found chicken bones at the butcher for a good price!

Steps

1

To make the shio tare, combine all the ingredients and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat.
2

Parboil the chicken carcasses until boiling.
3

Rinse the parboiled chicken bones thoroughly. Then, cover with enough water to submerge and bring to a boil again, skimming off any scum.
4

Pressure cook for 1 hour.
5

Release the pressure, remove the lid, add garlic, green onion top, and vegetables. Simmer over high heat, stirring occasionally.
6

Continue boiling over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half. Stir from the bottom occasionally to prevent burning.
7

If you want a richer broth, add more water and reduce again by half.
8

Strain the broth to finish the base soup.
9

Combine the shio tare and soup to your preferred saltiness. (Note: The shio tare is very salty, so add a little at a time.)
10

Serve with noodles and your favorite toppings!
