  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Mirin

  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Scallions
  • 2 sheets Nori Seaweed

Prepare the Broth

In a saucepan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sake (if using), and chili oil/paste. Stir well to combine. Pour in chicken or pork broth and bring to a simmer. Adjust seasoning to taste. Keep warm.

Cook the Noodles

Prepare the Eggs

Boil eggs to your desired doneness. For a soft-boiled egg, cook for about 6-7 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Peel and halve the eggs.

Assemble the Ramen

Divide the cooked ramen noodles between two bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles. Top with sliced pork belly (chashu), halved soft-boiled egg, bean sprouts, chopped scallions, and a sheet of nori seaweed.
