Instructions
- Prepare Pork and Aromatics: Heat neutral oil in a pan over medium heat. Add pork mince seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook until the pork changes color. Add minced garlic and cook for 20-30 seconds while keeping the heat medium.
- Make Broth: In a pot, combine water, unsweetened soy milk, kombu (or MSG), soy sauce, sake, salt, sugar, and oyster sauce. Heat slowly to around 60°C (140°F) to actively develop kombu's umami. Boil gently for about 30 seconds to burn off the alcohol from sake. Keep the broth warm.
- Cook Noodles: Cook ramen egg noodles according to the packet instructions using plenty of water to prevent stickiness. Drain and keep warm.
- Assemble and Serve: Place cooked noodles in a bowl. Pour hot broth over the noodles. Add cooked pork and garlic mixture on top. Garnish with chopped green onion and half a nori sheet. Serve immediately.
