minutesThis homemade ramen features a rich, savory broth infused with garlic and ginger, paired with perfectly chewy noodles. Topped with tender pork belly, soft boiled eggs, and crisp vegetables, it delivers a symphony of flavors and textures. A comforting bowl that brings the essence of a ramen bar to your home.
Ingredients
200 g ramen noodles
4 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp miso paste
1 tsp sesame oil
2 large eggs
100 g sliced pork belly
1/2 cup sliced bamboo shoots
2 stalks green onions chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp ginger grated
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions
- 1. In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
- 2. Add soy sauce, miso paste, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- 3. While the broth simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles.
- 4. Add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain and set aside.
- 5. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and carefully add the eggs. Cook for 6 minutes for a soft boiled yolk, then transfer to ice water to stop cooking.
- 6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook the pork belly slices for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and crispy.
- 7. Peel the eggs and slice them in half. Chop the green onions.
- 8. Divide the cooked noodles between two bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles. Top each bowl with pork belly, halved eggs, bamboo shoots, and chopped green onions.

Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute pork with tofu and use vegetable broth. The broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove. Serve with a side of kimchi or pickled radishes for added crunch and tang. If the noodles become sticky, rinse them under cold water after cooking.
