Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Duck legs (2)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Chicken broth (6 cups)
- Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
- Mirin (2 tablespoons)
- Ginger (1 inch, peeled and sliced)
- Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
- Ramen noodles (2 packets)
- Baby bok choy (4)
- Green onions (2, sliced)
- Soft-boiled eggs (2, halved)
- Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
- Chili oil (1 tablespoon)
- Toasted sesame seeds (1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Season the duck legs with salt and pepper and place them on a baking sheet.
- Roast the duck legs in the oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone. Let the duck legs cool slightly before shredding the meat. Set aside.
- In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, sliced ginger, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Strain the broth and return it to the pot.
- While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Blanch the baby bok choy in a separate pot of boiling water for about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- To assemble the ramen bowls, divide the cooked noodles between two bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles.
- Top each bowl with shredded duck meat, blanched baby bok choy, sliced green onions, and half a soft-boiled egg.
- Finish each bowl with a drizzle of sesame oil and chili oil, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Japanese dining experience!
