Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork shoulder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 3 whole Scallions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Red chili paste
• 3 tablespoons White miso paste
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 4 packages Dried ramen noodles
• 1 cup Button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Canned corn, drained
• 4 pieces Soft-boiled eggs
• 2 whole Nori sheets, cut into strips
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 0.5 cup Cilantro, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Generously rub the pork shoulder with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the red chili paste and white miso paste until combined, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Return the pork to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise until tender, about 1.5 hours.

Step 8

Remove the pork shoulder from the pot and let cool slightly before shredding with two forks.

Step 9

Meanwhile, prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 10

In the same pot, bring the broth to a simmer on the stove. Add the mushrooms and corn, cooking for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Divide the cooked noodles among four serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the noodles.

Step 12

Top each bowl with shredded pork, halved soft-boiled eggs, nori strips, sesame seeds, bean sprouts, and the green parts of the scallions.

Step 13

Garnish with cilantro before serving.
