Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds pork bones (neck or femur)
  • 12 cups water
  • 3-inch piece ginger, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 4 stalks green onions, cut into thirds (whites for broth, greens for garnish)
  • 4–5 dried shiitake mushrooms (optional)
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow)
  • 12 ounces fresh ramen noodles
  • 2–3 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • Thinly sliced chashu pork belly (optional)
  • Bean sprouts (for garnish)
  • Nori sheets (for garnish)
  • Bamboo shoots (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the pork bones under cold water. Place them in a stockpot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse bones to remove impurities.
  2. Return cleaned bones to the pot. Add 12 cups fresh cold water, sliced ginger, smashed garlic, green onion whites, and dried shiitake mushrooms. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 3 hours, skimming foam or fat every 30 minutes until broth is milky and fragrant.
  3. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into another pot or large bowl. Discard solids. Return broth to stockpot and keep warm on low heat.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, mirin, and miso paste. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add fresh ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  6. Soft-boil eggs by boiling for 6-7 minutes, then shock in ice water before peeling. Slice chashu pork thinly. Prepare bean sprouts, nori, and bamboo shoots for garnish.
  7. Divide noodles between bowls. Ladle hot pork broth over noodles. Top with halved eggs, chashu, green onion greens, bean sprouts, nori sheets, and bamboo shoots.

Notes

Keep broth simmering gently to avoid cloudiness. Skim foam and fat regularly for a clean broth. Slightly undercook noodles as they soften in broth. Store broth separately from noodles to avoid sogginess. Broth tastes better after resting overnight. Use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles for gluten-free adaptation.
