Instructions

1

Prepare the chashu pork: Roll the pork belly tightly and tie with kitchen twine. Sear all sides in a hot pan until browned.

2

Make the chashu marinade: Combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, garlic, and ginger in a pot. Add the seared pork and enough water to cover. Simmer for 1.5 hours.

3

Prepare ramen eggs: Soft boil eggs for 6-7 minutes, then cool in ice water. Peel and marinate in leftover chashu broth for at least 1 hour.

4

Make the broth: Combine chicken and pork broth in a pot. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and season to taste. Simmer for 30 minutes.

5

Prepare toppings: Slice chashu pork, halve marinated eggs, blanch bean sprouts, and chop green onions.

6

Cook noodles: Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions (usually 1-2 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.

7

Assemble ramen: Place noodles in bowls, pour hot broth over them. Arrange chashu slices, eggs, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, nori, and green onions on top.

Chef's Tips

  • Broth Tip: For richer flavor, simmer bones for 6-8 hours to make your own tonkotsu broth.
  • Noodle Texture: Rinse cooked noodles under cold water to remove excess starch and maintain perfect chewiness.
  • Egg Perfection: For runny yolks, cook eggs for exactly 6 minutes 30 seconds.
  • Customization: Add chili oil or rayu for spicy ramen, or miso paste for miso ramen variation.
  • Storage: Chashu pork can be made ahead and frozen. Broth can be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for 1 month.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace meat broth with mushroom or vegetable broth, and use tofu instead of chashu.
