Build Your Flavor Base

  1. Aromatic Kickstart: Sauté chopped onions, minced ginger, and crushed garlic in oil until fragrant. This is the foundation of your broth’s deliciousness!
  2. Broth Building Blocks: Add pork bones (or chicken bones) to the pot and cover with water. Simmer for at least 2 hours, or longer for maximum richness.
  3. Miso Moment: Strain your broth, then whisk in your choice of red or white miso paste. Start with a smaller amount and taste as you go, adding more if you desire deeper flavor.

Prepare Your Toppings

  1. Pork Perfection: Follow a chashu pork belly recipe for the most tender and flavorful slices, a true ramen indulgence. (Find easy recipes online!)
  2. Egg-cellent Addition: Make jammy marinated soft-boiled eggs (ajitama) – a delicious ramen classic.
  3. Crunchy Goodness: Blanch bok choy, steam corn kernels, and prepare bean sprouts to add freshness and texture.
  4. Spice It Up (Optional): Have chili oil and togarashi (Japanese chili powder) on hand for those who love a fiery kick.
  5. Salty Seaweed: Crumble nori seaweed sheets for a taste of the ocean in your bowl.

Noodle Know-How

Seek the Slurp: Cook thick ramen noodles according to package directions, aiming for slightly chewy. Don’t overcook, as the broth will soften them further.

Miso Ramen: Assemble Your Masterpiece

  1. Broth Base: Ladle your hot miso broth into bowls.
  2. Noodle Nest: Add your cooked ramen noodles to the center.
  3. Topping Time: Artfully arrange your chashu, egg, vegetables, and nori.
  4. Finishing Touches: Drizzle with chili oil or sprinkle togarashi for those who like it spicy.

Slurp your way to ramen nirvana! Enjoy the rich, savory broth, the perfectly chewy noodles, and the medley of delicious toppings. This is a dish that truly satisfies.
