Heat 4 cups of chicken broth and 3 cups of dashi in a pot over low heat and bring to a simmer.

Combine all the shio tare ingredients in a sauce pan and slowly bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
While waiting for the mixture to simmer, stir to make sure salt is dissolved. Also, stir the mix occasionally after the salt is dissolved.
Once mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes remove from heat and let cool.

In a small sauce pan, heat pork lard and sesame oil on medium-low heat until hot.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to oils and cook for 1-2 minutes or until browned and releasing aromas. Stri frequently and make sure not to let the aromatics burn.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Once cool, strain oil into small bowl

Cut four slices about 1/4 inch thick off of the chashu pork. Heat each slice of chashu by heating in a skillet with its cooking liquids.
Assemble remaining topping ingredients so they can be added to the soup quickly.
Cut ramen eggs in half. Also, cut the nori sheet into strips.

Follow the instructions on the noodles to cook noodles in boiling water.
While the noodles are cooking, place 1 1/4 cups of the broth into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the shio tare and 1 tablespoon of the aromatic oil. If necessary, stir in tare as needed to make sure it's combined with the broth.
Once noodles are done cooking, strain thoroughly making sure to get rid of as much water from the noodles as possible as excess water can dilute the broth. Once strained, add an individual portion of noodles to the bowl with the broth.
Add a chashu slice to the bowl of ramen.
Place half of a ramen egg in the broth with the yolk facing up.
Also, add a slice of kamaboko (most commonly used type of kamaboko in ramen is narutomaki), 1/4 of the scallions, and 2 tablespoons of corn to the bowl. Fold your nori strip in half and add to the bowl.
Serve and enjoy!
