• When the mince is cooked through, add ⅔ of copped shallots, bean sprouts and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
• Add the miso flavouring and soy sauce and stir for another 30 seconds. Turn the heat off.
• Add a small amount of Ramen Broth to the bowl with miso, mix and dilute the miso base.
• Add the remaining Ramen Broth keeping about 50ml and taste test. Adjust the saltiness with remaining Ramen Broth.
• Add the noodles topped with the bean sprouts stir-fry. Sprinkle the remaining chopped shallots over and serve immediately.

SAPPORO STYLE RAMEN

Steps:

• Make 5 cups of dashi stock. When dashi stock is ready, keep it aside.
• Meanwhile, cut all the ingredients into small pieces.
• In a frying pan, heat sesame oil on medium high heat and add the meat and ginger. Cook until nicely browned and set aside.
• In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat oil on medium high and saute onion and garlic until they are well coated with oil (3-5 minutes).
• Add cut vegetables and mix well. Pour dashi stock into the large pot. Add the meat and bring the soup to a boil.
• Right before it starts boiling, skim off the scum and fat from the soup. Simmer until the vegetables are soft, about 15-20 minutes depending on ingredients you put.
• Add miso using a strainer. If you don't have one, use a ladle so you can make sure all miso is completely dissolved. Taste the soup before you add more miso.
• Add corn and return soup to a simmer while noodles are cooking (DO NOT BOIL).
• In a stockpot full of water, cook fresh ramen noodles to desired consistency.
• Divide noodles between bowls and ladle broth over the noodles. Place one tsp of butter in the center of each bowl on top and surround with garnishes of bean sprouts, green onions, red pepper flakes, and ground pork.
