Shoyu Ramen with Pork, Soft-Boiled Egg and Greens

Every region of Japan has its archetypal ramen. Sapporo in northern Hokkaido is renowned for its spicy miso ramen, while Fukuoka in the south has its legendary tonkotsu pork bone ramen. If you’re going to make ramen for the first time, shoyu is the easiest. Based on chicken broth with roasted pork (chashu), it’s easier than making a 24-hour pork broth and having your house smell like a wet soup kitchen.
