Ed Smith’s curried brisket ramen 

The curried brisket and its stock provide a deeply flavoured, glossy base for a noodle soup – the perfect winter warmer. It’s low-effort, but does take a little time, which means you’ll feel extra-smug if you make a batch and freeze portions for another day. Once defrosted, reheating takes barely five minutes, leaving you with a wonderful homemade ramen once you’ve cooked some noodles. I’ve suggested some greens to add at the end – use whatever you have in the fridge.
