Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth
    In a large pot, combine chicken stock or dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2 hours to develop flavor. Strain the broth and return to the pot, keeping warm.
  2. Cook the noodles
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes for fresh noodles. Drain well and divide among 4 serving bowls.
  3. Prepare the toppings
    While the noodles are cooking, arrange the sliced chashu pork, halved soft-boiled eggs, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and nori sheets on a serving platter.
  4. Assemble the ramen
    Pour the hot broth over the noodles in each bowl. Arrange the chashu pork, soft-boiled egg halves, bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots on top of the noodles. Place a quarter sheet of nori on the side of each bowl.
  5. Finish and serve
    Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions. Serve immediately while the broth is hot, providing chopsticks and a soup spoon for each diner.
