Instructions

Prepare the Broth

In a large pot, combine chicken stock, miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Pro tip: Ensure the miso paste is fully dissolved for a smooth broth.

Simmer the Broth

Reduce heat to low and let the broth simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.

Pro tip: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce if needed.

Cook the Noodles

Bring a separate pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Pro tip: Rinse noodles under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.

Prepare the Toppings

While the broth simmers, prepare the toppings by slicing the chashu pork and green onions. Blanch bean sprouts briefly in boiling water.

Pro tip: Marinate ramen eggs a day in advance for deeper flavour.

Assemble the Ramen

Divide cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle hot broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets an equal amount.

Pro tip: Warm bowls beforehand to keep the ramen hot longer.

Add Toppings

Top each bowl with slices of chashu pork, a ramen egg, bean sprouts, and green onions. Serve immediately.

Pro tip: Add a dash of chili oil for a spicy kick.
