Description
This wooden ramen spoon gives a bowl of noodle soup the deep, round scoop it deserves, with a broad bowl for broth and a long, flat handle that reaches down to the bottom. It is made from schima wood, a pale timber with a gentle visible grain, so the spoon has the warm, simple look of everyday wooden kitchenware. The bowl measures about 7.5cm by 6cm, generous enough for a proper mouthful of broth with a few noodles, while the handle runs to about 17.5cm. Overall the spoon is 21.4cm long, 7.5cm wide and 5cm high, and at just 22g it feels light and easy in the hand.
We think it belongs wherever noodle soups are made and eaten: on the kitchen table for a weeknight ramen, or set out for a homemade noodle night with friends. A deep ramen bowl swallows an ordinary dessert spoon, but this one lets you reach the last of the broth without tipping the bowl or dipping your fingers. It works just as well for udon, laksa or a simple miso or chicken broth, and it sits naturally alongside chopsticks, lifting broth with one hand while the other gathers noodles. Its natural wood tone suits stoneware, porcelain or enamel bowls of any colour.
The spoon pairs a rounded, gently dished bowl with a straight, flat handle that meets it at the rim, a plain shape that is comfortable to hold. As with any wooden kitchen piece, we would wash it by hand in warm soapy water, rinse it and pat it dry with a tea towel rather than leaving it to soak or putting it in the dishwasher. Let it dry fully before putting it away; a light wipe of cooking oil now and then keeps the wood looking its best. For a relaxed supper, lay it beside the bowl with a pair of chopsticks, and the table is ready.
