Recipe Makes (Approximate): 2

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)
  • 3 ¼ slices ginger (peeled)
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2-3 tablespoons oil (for frying)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • salt (to taste)
  • 2 packages ramen noodles (from dry, fresh, or frozen, cooked according to package)
  • chopped fresh spinach (to serve)
  • togarashi (Japanese spice blend, to serve)
  • green onions (sliced, to serve)
  • soft-boiled eggs
  • black sesame seeds (to serve)

Instructions

  • Combine water, garlic, ginger, and bacon in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a strong simmer/low boil. Let cook together for 30 minutes.
  • Strain out aromatics and bacon and separate boiled bacon. Discard ginger and garlic. In a skillet over medium heat, add a glug of oil (vegetable, if you're into that; olive; coconut--whatever, really, as long as it doesn't have a very strong taste) and fry bacon until browned. Add salt to re-flavor your bacon. Remove from heat and slice into bite-size pieces.
  • Add soy sauce and mirin to broth then salt to taste. Place noodles in serving bowl and ladle broth over. Garnish with desired toppings and serve.

Recipe Notes

  • Soft boiled-egg, to serve. I follow this method but cook about 6 minutes instead of 9. Click here.
