Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large stockpot, add 2 lbs pork bones and 12 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Skim off any foam and impurities for 15 minutes.
2. Step 2: Add 2-inch sliced ginger, 6 smashed garlic cloves, and 3 green onions pieces to the pot. Simmer gently, uncovered, for 4 hours to extract a rich broth.
3. Step 3: After simmering, strain broth through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot. Stir in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 2 tbsp sake. Keep warm over low heat.
4. Step 4: Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder for 2 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through.
5. Step 5: Bring a pot of water to boil and carefully add 4 large eggs. Boil for exactly 7 minutes for soft-yolk eggs. Transfer eggs to ice water, peel, and halve.
6. Step 6: Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, about 3 minutes, then drain.
7. Step 7: Divide noodles among 4 bowls. Pour hot broth over noodles, top with grilled pork slices, halved soft-boiled eggs, 1 cup bean sprouts, 1 tbsp sesame oil drizzle, and 4 nori strips. Serve immediately.
