Step-by-Step Instructions

01

Prepare the toppings before you start the broth. Wash and slice the vegetables, keep the herbs whole on their stems, and refrigerate everything in separate containers so the bowl components stay crisp.

02

Make the broth base in a large pot. Heat the ramen broth with beef or chicken broth, then add marrow bones, dried shiitake mushrooms, hondashi, sake, mirin, and any optional flavor boosters such as gochujang, pho starter, bonito flakes, chili oil, or a splash of coconut milk. Simmer gently until the broth is deeply flavored.
