Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Boil the pork bones
    A large pot filled with pork bones and water, boiling vigorously on a stovetop.

    Place the pork bones into a large pot filled with water and bring to a rolling boil. This process extracts the marrow and essence from the bones, creating the foundation for a rich and flavorful miso ramen broth.

    Tip: Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface to ensure a clean, clear soup base.
  2. 2Season the broth
    A ladle stirring a dollop of miso paste into the simmering pork broth until combined.

    Add the miso paste and seasonings into the boiling pork broth. Stir thoroughly to ensure the paste is fully dissolved and evenly incorporated, creating the signature savory miso flavor.

    Tip: Turn the heat down to low when adding the miso to prevent it from curdling or losing its delicate aroma.
  3. 3Cook the ramen noodles

    Boil the ramen noodles in a separate pot of water according to the package instructions until they reach the desired texture. Drain the noodles well before serving.

    Tip: Avoid overcooking the noodles; they should remain firm, as they will continue to soften slightly once added to the hot soup.
  4. 4Assemble the ramen bowl
    A bowl filled with cooked ramen noodles, with hot miso broth being poured over them.

    Place the cooked noodles into a serving bowl, then ladle the hot miso pork broth over them. Ensure the noodles are submerged and the broth is steaming hot.

    Tip: Pre-warm your serving bowl with hot water to keep the ramen hot for longer while you eat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can use store-bought pork or chicken stock as a base if you are short on time, but simmering fresh bones will provide a much richer, authentic mouthfeel.
Awase miso, which is a blend of red and white miso, is the most versatile for ramen as it provides a balance of sweetness and depth.
Murky broth is often caused by boiling the bones too hard or failing to skim the impurities. Keep the boil at a gentle, rolling simmer and skim regularly.
