Description

Directions

• Combine water, garlic, ginger, and bacon in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a strong simmer/low boil. Let cook together for 30 minutes.
• Strain out aromatics and bacon and separate boiled bacon. Discard ginger and garlic. In a skillet over medium heat, add a glug of oil (vegetable, if youre into that; olive; coconut--whatever, really, as long as it doesnt have a very strong taste) and fry bacon until browned. Add salt to re-flavor your bacon. Remove from heat and slice into bite-size pieces.
• Add soy sauce and mirin to broth then salt to taste. Place noodles in serving bowl and ladle broth over. Garnish with desired toppings and serve.
