Recipe 🍳

  1. In a pot, add water, salt, and pork shoulder. Boil until fully cooked through.
  2. Once the meat is fully cooked, remove it. To the remaining pork cooking liquid, add store-bought pork bone broth, beef bone broth, and kelp. Bring to a boil.
  3. While the broth is boiling, adjust seasoning to taste, controlling the amount of broth as desired. Let it boil briefly.
  4. Separately, boil the ramen noodle block in boiling water, drain, and place in a bowl.
  5. Preheat a frying pan. Slice the store-bought chashu thinly and grill until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Top the noodles with the grilled chashu, bean sprouts, and shredded kelp in an appealing arrangement.
  7. Pour the prepared rich broth generously into the bowl. Finish by sprinkling scallions, soft-boiled egg, minced garlic, and shichimi.
  1. Add pork bone broth, beef bone broth, and kelp to the pork shoulder cooking liquid and boil to make the broth.
  2. Cook the ramen noodles and place in a bowl. Grill the chashu until golden in a pan.
  3. Top the noodles with chashu, bean sprouts, and other garnishes. Pour in the broth and add seasonings.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Store-bought broth products vary in saltiness, so add gradually and adjust to taste to avoid failure.
  • When grilling chashu, if you have a torch, lightly char the surface to add a smoky flavor for extra deliciousness.
  • To preserve the crunchy texture of bean sprouts, add them raw just before pouring hot broth so they cook from the residual heat.
