½teaspoonannatto achiote seeds
4cupsbeef stockhomemade or store-bought
1 ½teaspoonsdashi
1Tablespoonsoy sauce

2cupsramen noodlescooked

Instructions
In a wok or large saucepan, fry bacon on medium-high heat to render grease. After some of the fat is released, add 1 diced scallion, and saute for about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside.
Add annato seeds to fat and simmer for about 2 minutes, to release some color, then remove the seeds.
Combine beef stock, dashi, and soy sauce in wok, and return the bacon to the liquid. Bring to a boil for a few minutes, stirring once or twice, allowing the flavors to blend.
Stir in the miso paste ½ teaspoon at a time, until the broth reaches the desired flavor. Reduce heat and simmer while you set up your bowls.
In a separate saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Boil the ramen noodles, 1 serving at a time, for about 3 minutes each - you want them to be semi-al dente.
Arrange your noodles, egg halves, and vegetables in large soup bowls, then ladle hot broth on top of everything. Drizzle with chili oil for a little kick of heat. Enjoy!
