This is a spin on a recipe from Just One Cookbook, but I had to make more of the sauce so I could also make ramen eggs (aji tamago) along with it. This should liven up the cheap ramen kit I got. 🇯🇵🥩🐖🥚🍜

    When ready to serve, you can optionally sear the chashū with a blowtorch to enhance the flavour. Slice the eggs and serve with ramen.
