Let's Get Started
- In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, sake, ginger, garlic, dried shiitake mushrooms, and dried kelp. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
- While the broth is simmering, prepare the chashu pork. Season the pork belly with salt and pepper, then sear it in a hot pan until browned on all sides. Transfer the pork to the pot with the broth and simmer for another hour, until the pork is tender.
- Remove the pork from the broth and let it cool slightly. Slice the pork into thin slices.
- Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles. Top with chashu pork slices, sliced green onions, bean sprouts, nori seaweed, and a soft-boiled egg.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
