Garlic Black Ramen

Bold ramen finished with roasted black garlic oil.

Build on chicken bone broth or pork bone broth as foundational broth. The layered work is a black garlic aroma oil and a short infusion so the bowl stays deep and savory without re-extracting bones.

Ingredients

  • 2.5–3 L chicken bone broth or pork bone broth
  • 6–10 cloves black garlic (or black garlic paste to taste)
  • Neutral oil for black garlic oil (about 44 mL)
  • optional1 knob ginger, sliced
  • Light soy or salt to balance at the bowl

Method

  1. Warm the bone broth; keep at a gentle simmer.
  2. Slowly fry smashed black garlic in oil over low heat until fragrant and deep brown (do not burn).
  3. Steep ginger in hot broth 10 minutes if using; strain.
  4. Stir a spoon of black garlic oil into the pot; reserve more for finishing each bowl.
  5. Season lightly with soy or salt; finish each bowl with extra black garlic oil and scallion.
