Simplified Sakata Wantan-Men-Style Ramen

Instructions

1. For the wontons: In a small bowl, mix ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Take wonton wrappers and place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each. Moisten edges with water and fold to seal into a triangle or small package. Set aside.
2. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
3. Add the chicken broth, fish sauce (for seafood flavor), and soy sauce to create the multi-dimensional broth base. Simmer for 5 minutes.
4. In a skillet, cook bacon slices until crispy. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.
5. Drop the prepared wontons into the simmering broth and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float and are cooked through.
6. In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package directions, then drain well.
7. Place cooked noodles in a bowl, arrange the cooked wontons around the edge, and ladle the hot broth over everything.
8. Top with crispy bacon slices (as a substitute for traditional roast pork), drained canned bamboo shoots, and chopped green onions.
9. For extra flavor, add a small drizzle of sesame oil on top.
10. Serve immediately while hot.
