Instructions

1

Prepare the broth: In a large pot, combine chicken or pork broth, dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sake, salt, sugar, garlic, and ginger. Simmer on low heat for 1.5 hours, skimming off any impurities.

2

Cook the chashu pork: If not pre-made, braise pork belly in soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar for 1.5 hours until tender. Slice thinly before serving.

3

Soft-boil the eggs: Bring water to a boil, gently add eggs, and cook for 6-7 minutes. Transfer to ice water, peel, and marinate in soy sauce and mirin for 30 minutes.

4

Prepare the noodles: Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes in boiling water. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

5

Assemble the ramen: Divide noodles among bowls. Pour hot broth over the noodles, then arrange chashu pork, soft-boiled eggs, bean sprouts, and green onions on top.

6

Garnish and serve: Add a sheet of nori, drizzle with sesame oil and chili oil if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

Chef's Tips

  • Broth Tip: For a richer flavor, simmer bones (chicken or pork) for several hours to extract maximum umami.
  • Noodle Tip: Use fresh or high-quality dried ramen noodles for the best texture.
  • Egg Tip: Marinate eggs overnight for deeper flavor and a more vibrant color.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute broth with mushroom or vegetable stock and use tofu instead of pork.
  • Storage: Store broth and toppings separately. Reheat broth before serving to maintain freshness.
