Charshu (Braised Pork)

Noodles

Method

Broth Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Broth

    In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, light soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, and sliced ginger. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Charshu Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Charshu

    In a separate pot, add the pork belly and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pork and drain the pot. In the same pot, combine soy sauce, sugar, sake, and green onions. Place the pork belly back in the pot, cover, and simmer for 2 hours until tender. Once cooked, let the pork cool slightly and then slice it thinly.

Egg Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Boiled Eggs

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 7 minutes for a soft-boiled consistency. Remove the eggs and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half.

Noodle Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Noodles

    In a large pot of boiling water, cook the yellow wavy ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Ramen

    In serving bowls, add a portion of cooked noodles. Pour the hot broth over the noodles. Top with sliced charshu, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, chopped scallion, fish cake slices, and half a boiled egg. Serve hot and enjoy your Pork Shoyu Ramen!
