Leftover duck ramen

After the Christmas celebrations all of us have a lot of leftover food. Roast turkey, goose and duck can be used up for many lovely meals, including stews, soups, pies, pasta dishes, salads and so on. This leftover duck ramen soup is really yummy, rich and filling. I made it with buckwheat noodles, but ramen, udon, rice or soba noodles works just as well. For a spicy version you can add a chilli or some chilli flakes.
