Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ramen noodles
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces sliced pork belly or chicken thighs
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • 1/2 cup sliced scallions
  • 1/4 cup nori sheets, cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening broth)

Instructions

  1. Cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. If using pork belly or chicken thighs, add them to the simmering broth and cook until done, about 5-10 minutes. Remove meat and slice.
  4. If you prefer a thicker broth, whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the simmering broth until thickened.
  5. To assemble, divide cooked noodles among serving bowls.
  6. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles.
  7. Top with sliced meat, soft-boiled eggs, scallions, and nori strips.

  • Adjust soy sauce and mirin to your taste.
  • Other popular toppings include bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and narutomaki (fish cake).
