Ingredients
- 6 pieces dried wood ear mushrooms (0.14 oz, 4 g)
- 3 green onions/scallions
- 4–5 leaves green cabbage
- 2 inches carrot
- 4 oz bean sprouts
- 1 Tbsp neutral oil (for stir-frying)
- 4 oz sliced pork belly
- 1 Tbsp sake
- ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
For the Noodles
- water (for boiling the noodles)
- 2 ervings fresh ramen noodles (10–12 oz or 283–340 g fresh noodles)
For the Chicken Stock (3⅓ cups or 800 ml) (see Notes for homemade stock)
- 4 tsp Chuka Dashi (Chinese seasoning) (for my homemade recipe, please click here; please read the blog post about Asian chicken stock vs. Western chicken stock; it‘s recommended to use Asian chicken stock for this recipe)
- 3⅓ cups water (hot)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
To Make the Soup
- In a medium saucepan, dissolve 4 tsp Chuka Dashi (Chinese seasoning) in 3⅓ cups water (hot). Mix well and bring to a boil, then set aside. Alternatively, you can use my homemade chicken stock recipe.
To Prepare the Ingredients
- In a small bowl, add 6 pieces dried wood ear mushrooms and add just enough water to cover them. Rehydrate until soft and squeeze to remove the water. Cut 3 green onions/scallions into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces.
- Cut 4–5 leaves green cabbage into bite-size pieces. Cut 2 inches carrot into thin slabs and then cut them in half. Rinse 4 oz bean sprouts under running water.
To Cook the Toppings
- Start preparing a big pot of water to cook noodles. While waiting, heat the wok or large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add 1 Tbsp neutral oil and swirl the oil around to coat the wok. Then, add 4 oz sliced pork belly and cook until no longer pink.
- Add 1 Tbsp sake to the meat and quickly stir. Then, add the wood ear mushrooms, green onion, and carrot.
- Add the cabbage and bean sprouts.
- Season with ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper and ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt.
- Once the cabbage is tender, add the chicken stock and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil and bring to a simmer.
To Cook the Noodles
- When the water is boiling, add 2 servings fresh ramen noodles by loosening them up with your hands. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions and drain well.
To Serve
- Divide the cooked noodles into two bowls. Add the toppings and soup over the noodles and serve immediately.
- A dash of white pepper is great for enhancing the noodles‘ flavor.
To Store
- Keep the leftovers in separate airtight containers: the toppings, soup, and noodles (uncooked). Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for a month. Cook the noodles right before you serve.
