Method
 

Make the Ramen
  1. Start by adding two cups of water to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil.
  2. Once boiling, spoon in the peanut butter. It might seem odd, but trust me — this gives the broth an incredible nutty flavor.
  3. Whisk well until the peanut butter blends completely into the water, creating a creamy broth.
  4. Drop in the ramen block and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add the Tajin seasoning — it pairs beautifully with the peanut butter’s richness and adds tangy spice. Then stir in the included seasoning packet.
  6. Pour in a light drizzle of sesame seed oil for aroma and depth. Stir gently.
Assemble your bowl.
  1. Pour the noodles and broth into a serving bowl.
  2. Add your sliced boiled egg, the pork shoulder (warmed if desired), and a sprinkle of chives. Finish with sesame seeds on top.
  3. Break into that egg yolk and mix it through the noodles for that creamy, savory finish.
