Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 piece kombu
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ pound ground pork
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 thumb of ginger peeled and minced
- 5 green onions white and green parts sliced
- 4 dried shiitake mushrooms
- ½ cup miso paste white or red miso paste
- 2 teaspoon doubanjiang (spicy bean paste) or chili garlic paste (gochujang)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 tablespoon sake
- 16 ounces ramen noodles dried or fresh
- Optional toppings: Sweet corn, green onions, ramen eggs, seaweed squares, and Chashu.
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, boil 2 cups of water. Remove from heat and add the kombu. Allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes or up to an hour, then discard the kombu.
- In a separate large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned - about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Mix in the green onions and shiitake mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the miso paste, spicy bean paste, sugar, and white pepper, and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the kombu broth, chicken broth, mirin, and sake, bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
- While the broth is simmering, boil a large pot of water and cook the ramen noodles to al dente. Drain and toss with some sesame or vegetable oil so that they don’t stick and set aside.
- Divide the cooked ramen noodles between 4 bowls, and pour the hot broth over the top.
- Top with sliced green onions, sweet corn, ramen eggs, seaweed squares, and Chashu, if desired.
Notes
Storage: Leftover ramen broth can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
