Barbecue Pork and Miso Ramen

This recipe is inspired by the bowls of hearty ramen I slurped in train stations in northern Japan. Sapporo ramen is my favorite style—full of springy ramen noodles, rich and savory red miso broth, buttered corn, boiled eggs, and thin slices of barbecued pork. With a soup spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other, it’s full-contact eating at its best! To make this dish lightning-fast (it’s really more about shopping than cooking), I use packaged Chinese char siu (barbecue pork).
