RAMEN NOODLE BOWL SET RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix 700ml chicken stock, 3 halved garlic cloves, 4 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, a sliced thumb-sized piece of ginger, ½ tsp Chinese five spice, pinch of chilli powder and 300ml water in a stockpot or large saucepan, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 mins.
• Taste the stock – add 1 tsp white sugar or a little more soy sauce to make it sweeter or saltier to your liking.
• Cook 375g ramen noodles following the pack instructions, then drain and set aside.
• Slice 400g cooked pork or chicken, fry in 2 tsp sesame oil until just starting to brown, then set aside.
• Divide the noodles between four bowls. Top each with a quarter of the meat, 25g spinach, 1 tbsp sweetcorn and two boiled egg halves each.
• Strain the stock into a clean pan, then bring to the boil once again.
• Divide the stock between the bowls, then sprinkle over 1 shredded nori sheet, sliced spring onions or shallots and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Allow the spinach to wilt slightly before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepot, combine the Three's Traditional Ramen Broth and Chicken Soy Sauce, and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Drop the kale in for a few seconds to wilt, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drop the noodles into the boiling water and cook until they float, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.
• Set out four large noodle bowls and divide the chicken fat between the bowls. Pour the hot seasoned broth in the bowls and then add the noodles. Working counter clockwise from 12 o'clock, garnish each bowl in equal sections with the kale, followed by the corn, Pickled Kimchee Shiitake Mushrooms, green onions, three slices of Braised Pork Belly, half of a 6-Minute Marinated Egg and 2 pieces of nori. The colors of the toppings should look evenly distributed and beautiful. 
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the pork knuckle bones in one roasting pan and the chicken backbones in a second roasting pan. Brush the miso paste over the pork knuckles. Transfer both pans to the oven and roast until the bones are dark golden brown, about 45 minutes.
• Carefully drain off the chicken fat and reserve the fat for the ramen bowl. Set aside one-third of the chicken backbones for the Chicken Soy Sauce.
• In a large stockpot, place the remaining backbones and the pork knuckles plus any drippings from the pan. Deglaze the roasting pans with the mirin and sake, and pour into the stockpot. Add the mushrooms, peppercorns, green onion whites, garlic, carrots, celery, ginger, kombu, white onions and radish. Add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook at a low simmer for 12 hours. Remove the mushrooms and reserve for the Pickled Kimchee Shiitake Mushrooms. Strain the stock.
• Place the roasted backbones and soy sauce in a medium saucepot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Place the mushrooms in a small bowl and add the vinegar, kimchee sauce and sugar. Stir to combine and marinate covered overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Spray a shallow roasting pan with vegetable oil and place the pork belly in the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, mirin, sake, sesame oil and sambal, and pour over the pork belly. Sprinkle the garlic, ginger and onion on top. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and roast until the pork is fork tender and pulls apart easily, about 6 hours.
• Carefully pour off and reserve the pork belly drippings for the 6-Minute Marinated Egg. Place a clean piece of parchment paper over the pork belly, followed by a clean roasting pan and a weight to press down the pork -- a couple of cans will do fine. Refrigerate until chilled. Slice into 3-by-1/4-inch pieces.
• Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the pot and cook for 6 minutes. Immediately plunge eggs into a large bowl of ice water and chill thoroughly. Carefully peel the eggs and place in a shallow bowl. Pour the reserved pork belly drippings over the eggs and marinate overnight. If the eggs float, use a small plate to keep them submerged.
