Hearty Pork Ramen with Soba Noodles

In a large pot, sear the meat over high heat until browned. Pour in 1 liter of cold water. Add the peeled shallots, whole garlic cloves, peeled and chopped ginger, half of the mushrooms, cleaned and halved carrots, and the five-spice powder. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to a minimum and gently simmer (steep) the broth for up to 8 hours. Once the broth is ready, strain it through a sieve. Remove the meat from the bone and set aside.

Season the broth with mirin, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil. Add the pak choi and chopped coriander and simmer briefly. In a separate pot, cook the soba noodles in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions.
