  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
  • 2 garlic cloves (diced)
  • salt

Ramen Broth
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp bonito flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves (diced)
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 1 tbsp mirin

Method
 

Char Siu Pork Shoulder
  1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Stir, cover pork shoulder with it, and rub it in. Put pork shoulder in a container, let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to 2 days. Take out about an hour before you want to cook it.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 F. Put pork shoulder on a baking sheet, or on the rack directly with a sheet below to catch the drippings. Roast for 20 minutes, then turn heat down to 325 F. Cook for about 4 more hours, or until a thermometer reads an internal temperature of at least 145 F. Let the pork rest for at least 20 minutes before cutting into it.
Ramen Broth
  1. While the pork is cooking, heat up a pot with chicken broth on medium low.
  2. In a separate skillet, heat up sesame oil on medium. Add garlic and shallot, fry lightly for about 2 minutes. Add it to the pot of chicken broth.
  3. Add the other broth ingredients to the pot. Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain liquid before serving if desired.
Ramen Toppings
  1. Boil ramen noodles for the amount of time specified on the package, probably 5 minutes. Strain, divide into bowls. Add broth. Slice pork shoulder and add a couple slices to each bowl. Sprinkle scallions on top. Put a couple sheets of nori on the side. Dig in!
