Instructions
Pork Ramen Broth:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Roast bones on sheet pan for 25-30 minutes.
- Heat oil in large stock pot (mine is 8 quarts). Add garlic, ginger, bonito flakes, dried mushrooms, and green onions. Saute 5 minutes or until fragrant. Add in bones and drippings from the pan.
- Deglaze pan with sake. Simmer until liquid has reduced by half.
- Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and kombu. Fill stock pot with water. Simmer for at least 8 hours.
- Remove bones from broth. Strain broth with fine mesh strainer. Serve hot. Freeze any leftovers in zippered bag.
Gochujang Pork Belly:
- Heat deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork belly, fat side down. Cook until browned and some fat has rendered down, about 5 minutes. Cook on all other sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove pork belly to a plate and set aside.
- While pan is still hot, add in green onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
- Deglaze pan with sake. Add in applesauce, gochujang, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring to a boil. Add pork belly into sauce. Cover and simmer for 4-5 hours or until tender. Flip the meat a couple of times while cooking if it is not fully submerged in the sauce.
- Remove pork belly from sauce. Bring sauce to a boil and cook until reduced by almost a half. Add sliced pork belly back to sauce.
- Slice pork belly. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced pork belly to pan and cook until browned, about 1-2 minutes per side. You can add more of the sauce to the skillet while the pork belly is cooking to add more flavor.
Mushrooms:
- After broth has been strained, bring it to a boil. Add in mushrooms and boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove mushrooms from broth and set aside. Keep warm until ready to use.
Assembly:
- To each bowl, add cooked ramen noodles. Pour broth over noodles. Arrange pork belly, eggs, mushrooms, pickled onions, and other toppings around the bowl. Enjoy!
