I have a confession. When I used to go to my cousin’s house as a kid one of my favorite things to do was make and eat instant, chicken flavored Top Ramen. Those artificial flavorings were really, really tasty.  Luckily I moved to New York City where I can get the real thing at Momofuku. Momofuku’s pork ramen with the poached egg is a delightful soup/noodle/meat combo with rich, satisfying flavors.  Definitely order the steamed pork buns, which may be Momofuku’s best dish, and one you can’t replicate at home from a box.
