• pork stock (makes about 6 cups)

• 1 pork bone
• 8 ¹⁄₂ cups water
• 5 -6 garlic cloves (peeled)
• 1 spring onion

• Seasoning mix

• 1 cup soy sauce
• ¹⁄₃ cup mirin
• 1 tablespoon ginger (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (to taste)

• The rest

• ¹⁄₂ lb pork brisket
• 4 (3 ounce) containers ramen noodles (discard the spice packs)
• 1 blue spring onion
• ¹⁄₂ cup shredded coconut
• 1 cup bean sprouts

directions

• The pork stock:

• Put water in a large pot, and bring to a boil. Add the pork bone, garlic, and spring onion; bring back to a boil.
• Reduce heat as needed, and boil for 3 hours, occasionally skimming the top.
• After 3 hours, strain out the onion, garlic, bone, and any particles, etc.

• The pork:

• Place the meat in the pork soup, after it has been strained, and let it simmer for about one hour. Skim the tops of the both pot occasionally, as needed.
• When the meat becomes soft, turn off the heat and remove it from the water.
• In a separate pot, place the soy sauce, the mirin, the Worcestershire sauce, and the ginger. Add the meat and place over medium heat.
• Cook for about 20 minutes, flipping occasionally, so that the meat absorbs the soy flavor.
• Remove the brisket to a cutting board, and reserve the boiling soup. Slice the meat into pieces about 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 1/2 inch thick.

• To assemble the ramen soup:

• In a large pot, bring enough hot water to cover the ramen to a boil. Boil the noodles for 1-2 minutes after they separate. (You should also blanch the bean sprouts at this time.).
• Meanwhile, place 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved soy mixture from the pork into each bowl.
• Drain the ramen, and place an equal amount in each bowl. (I think you let the noodles sit in the flavoring mixture for 7-8 minutes to absorb the flavor.).
• Fill the bowls to about 2/3 with the simmering pork stock.
• Make little hills "to heaven height" on top of the ramen soup with the coconut at the bottom, and the green onion at the top. Spread 3-4 slices of the pork meat on top in a decorative fashion.
• Enjoy! Although, if you're like me, you'll have to wait 10 minutes for the soup to cool to an edible temperature.
