Instructions

for the pickled eggs

Cook the eggs in boiling water for 6 minutes. Cool down completely in cold water and peel. Mix water with the soy sauce and mirin and add the eggs. Marinate the eggs submerged in the liquid for at least 6 hours, preferably 12 hours.

for the ramen soup

In a large stock pot add water and submerge the whole chicken. Place on high heat and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile prep the burnt onion. Cut the onion in half and place the cut side down in a pan on high heat. No oil is required to burn the onion.
When the stock has boiled, reduce to low heat and skim the white foam floating on the surface with a ladle.
Add the burnt onion, leek, garlic, ginger, miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil and season lightly with salt.
Now bring the stock back onto high heat. Once the stock has boiled, reduce to a simmer. After the stock has cooked for 45 minutes remove the pot from the heat and leave it to cool.
After 5 minutes remove the chicken and let it cool. Once the chicken has cooled enough to handle, remove the legs and breasts from the carcass and portion them up for the ramen soup.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Strain through a sieve and keep warm.

for the toppings

While the stock is cooking, prepare your toppings. Cut the pok choy in half and blanche in salted water for about 1 minute. Refresh under cold running water.
Blanche the bean sprouts the same way for about 30 seconds.
Cut the spring onions into fine slices and cut the nori sheets in squares. Cut the soy eggs in half.
Once the ramen soup and other ingredients are ready, Cook the ramen noodles, as per packet instructions.

to plate up

Reheat the vegetables in a pot of water. Arrange the noodles, chicken and vegetables in a large bowl and pour the hot ramen soup on top. Garnish with all the prepared toppings and serve with chop sticks and soup spoons.
