Start by making the broth: in a large pot, combine the chicken stock and dashi stock over medium heat.
Add soy sauce, mirin, and sake to the pot.
Crush the garlic cloves and slice the ginger piece; add both to the pot along with 2 sliced green onions.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for about 45 minutes to develop the flavors.
While the broth is cooking, prepare your toppings. Slice the chashu pork, make the soft-boiled eggs, and cut the nori sheets into halves.
Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse them briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process and set them aside.
After 45 minutes, strain the broth to remove the solids, then return the liquid to the pot. Add sesame oil and stir well.
To serve, divide the noodles evenly into 4 bowls. Pour the hot broth over the top.
Top each bowl with slices of chashu pork, half a soft-boiled egg, menma, a sheet of nori, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Shoyu Ramen!
