The Heart of the Dish: Soul Warming Broth

Ramen isn't complete without a high-quality broth, which serves as the foundation of this beloved dish. The broth is not merely a liquid; it is the essence of ramen, infusing each bowl with rich flavors that can transport you to the bustling streets of Japan. A well-crafted broth can take hours, or even days, to prepare, as it requires careful attention to detail and a selection of ingredients that harmonize beautifully. Let us help you simplify your dish by starting off with our very own KuneKune pork bone broth. Thaw our rich and savory broth to save time roasting and simmering bones of your own.

Whether you are enjoying a bowl at a local ramen shop or attempting to create your own version at home, the broth is what ultimately makes ramen truly exceptional.

1 tsp - Sesame Seeds

Optional Add Ins: Baby spinach, bok choy, chili oil, extra sesame seeds, additional soy sauce or toasted sesame oil for seasoning

Cooking Your Pork

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat the pork loin dry and season all sides with salt and pepper.

Heat the avocado oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden, about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140–145°F. Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing thinly.

Simmer Your Broth

In a large pot, add the pork bone broth, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, smashed garlic, and sliced ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 5–7 minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove the garlic and ginger with a slotted spoon before serving.

The Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for exactly 6½ minutes. Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath. Once cool, peel carefully and cut each egg in half.

Cooking Your Noodles

Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse briefly with cool water to stop cooking.

Assemble Ramen Bowls

Divide the noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles. Top each bowl with slices of pork, half a soft-boiled egg, shredded carrot, and sliced green onions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and add any optional toppings if desired.

So, grab your apron, gather your ingredients, and let your creativity flow in the kitchen!
