2 portions fresh or dried ramen noodles (approx. 6 oz total)
4 slices chashu pork slices (warmed)
2 soft-boiled ramen eggs (Ajitsuke Tamago) (halved)
1/4 cup sweet corn kernels (drained)
2 tbsp menma (seasoned bamboo shoots)
2 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
2 small sheets nori sheets (for side bowl placement)

Equipment

Medium Stockpot For preparing and simmering the miso broth base.
Noodle Strainer Basket Ensures excess water is drained so broth isn't diluted.

Instructions

1

In a medium stockpot, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add grated garlic, ginger, and ground pork, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until pork is browned.

Add the miso paste, toasted ground sesame seeds, soy sauce, mirin, and sake to the pot. Stir well to form a thick, fragrant paste.
3

Pour in chicken broth or dashi stock. Bring broth to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Keep warm without boiling rapidly to maintain miso flavor.
