Method
Pickled Mackerel
- Heat 2 cups of water enough to dissolve salt. Add salt, and let it cool to at least room temperature, or colder. Then, submerge fish in the brine. Boil remaining water, vinegar, pepper, and sugar. Add miso paste once it cools.
- Once pickling liquid is cool, pour it over the fish and brine in a glass jar. Seal and leave out on the counter overnight, or store it in the fridge for up to a week.
Ramen Broth
- Combine broth ingredients in a pot, simmer on medium low heat for 30 minutes. Strain bonito flakes out before serving.
Toppings
- Shell soft boiled egg and put it in a bag with soy sauce. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

- Prepare ramen noodles according to directions on package. Most likely, boil for about 5 minutes. Strain immediately once done and prepare ramen bowl.
