The Method

1
Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside to drain on paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
2
In the same pan with the bacon fat, fry the eggs to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
3
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the broth. In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
4
Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes).
5
Divide the ramen and broth among 4 bowls.
6
Top each bowl with 2 slices of crispy bacon, a fried egg, and a generous sprinkle of sliced scallions. Drizzle with chili oil if desired.
7
Garnish with nori seaweed strips (optional).

Chef's Tips

For a richer broth, use homemade chicken broth or add a splash of sake or rice wine vinegar.

Feel free to add other toppings like mushrooms, spinach, or bean sprouts.

Adjust the amount of soy sauce and chili oil to your taste preference.

If using dried noodles, cook them separately and add them to the broth just before serving to prevent overcooking.
