March 24, 2025 By Janine Farzin 2 Comments

A bowl of Homemade Ramen Broth - with a poached egg, meat, shiitakes, carrots and celery over a larger pot with the ladle in the side of the frame

The best Homemade Ramen Broth has two criteria: it tastes great and gels beautifully when cooled. To achieve this, we use meaty bones for flavor and gelatinous cuts like neck bones or knuckles for silky texture. Yet, great ramen broths also have nourishing bonuses – like mineral-rich seaweed and ferments like soy sauce or miso that support gut health. This simple and nourishing Homemade Ramen Broth is must have in any broth rotation….

Chicken Feet with Homemade BBQ Sauce garnished with green onions and pluck seasoning
This post first appeared on the Pluck Seasonings website and was featured in the Eat Pluck Organuary Challenge (eat organ meats for 4 weeks to start the new year)!  Turns out wings are prized, fetching good demand and high prices in the marketplace.  And feet barely make it to the marketplace.

Prepared Chicken Feet with Ginger in Honey in the pan at the end of cooking with rich, gooey gelatin
