Prepare the Broth

In a large pot, combine chicken or pork bones, water, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 4-6 hours, skimming off any impurities that rise to the surface.

Cook the Noodles

Bring a separate pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Prepare Toppings

While the broth is simmering, prepare the toppings. Slice some roasted pork belly, boil eggs to your desired doneness, and chop scallions. You can also prepare bamboo shoots and seaweed if desired.

Assembly Time

Once the broth is ready, strain it to remove any solids. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Divide the cooked noodles into bowls and ladle the hot broth over them. Add your desired toppings, like sliced pork, boiled eggs, scallions, bamboo shoots, and seaweed.
