- Ramen noodles
- 2 servings

Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, minced black garlic, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

- In a separate pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled consistency. Remove the eggs, place them in ice water for a few minutes, then peel and set aside.
- Divide the cooked ramen noodles evenly into serving bowls.
- Ladle the hot black garlic broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl is generously filled.
- Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, torn nori sheets, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth and comfort of your homemade black garlic ramen!
Tips
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of miso paste to the broth.
- Feel free to customize your toppings with ingredients like sliced mushrooms, bok choy, or bamboo shoots for added texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and use tofu as a protein source.
