Black Garlic Ramen

Ingredients

Black garlic

4 cloves, minced

Chicken broth

4 cups

Soy sauce

3 tablespoons

Mirin

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Ramen noodles

2 servings

Eggs

2, for soft-boiling

Green onions

2, sliced

Nori sheets

2, torn into pieces

Sesame seeds

1 tablespoon, toasted

Instructions

1. 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.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
3. While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, ensuring they remain warm.
4. 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.
5. Divide the cooked ramen noodles evenly into serving bowls.
6. Ladle the hot black garlic broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl is generously filled.
7. Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, torn nori sheets, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth and comfort of your homemade black garlic ramen!
