Ramen is a Japanese-style bowl of broth and noodles. In this version, miso is added to an already rich broth and spiced with chiles. Adding miso to ramen broth makes a unique version that is dense, flavorful and delicious. Make Ramen Eggs and Chasu Pork Belly in advance to top the ramen.

Ingredients

8 ounces ground pork

3 cloves garlic, chopped 

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated 

2 green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for serving

4 pieces dried shiitakes

2 pieces konbu seaweed, about 6 by 8 inches each 

7 tablespoons red miso paste (akamiso), or more to taste 

1 tablespoon mirin

1 pound fresh wheat noodles, cooked according to the package directions

Delicious. Used low sodium miso and that condensed chicken stock goup in a jar plus water. Didn't need to add salt. Will try with low sodium chicken stock next time due to high blood pressure because was a bit salty for my taste. i think it was the goup. Thanks Jet! Whole family loved it!
