Instructions
Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic, onion and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is dark brown, about 30 minutes.
Put the bacon and chicken wings in a Dutch oven and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes.
Drain and wipe the pot clean. Rinse the bacon and wings under cold water, then return to the pot; add 4 quarts water and the dried mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium; add the garlic mixture and gently simmer 1 hour, 15 minutes.
Strain the broth through a colander into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much of the liquid as possible. Skim any excess fat from the surface. Measure the broth, adding water if necessary to yield 2 quarts. (The broth can be made up to 4 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
Just before serving, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the scallions in a medium skillet over medium heat until the mixture starts sizzling.
Add the sake, soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, the sugar, peppercorns and 1/2 cup water. Simmer, reducing to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.
Bring the broth and the scallion mixture to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the noodles and cook until softened, 1 to 3 minutes. Gently pull the noodles apart with tongs.
Transfer the soup to bowls and top as desired.
Take your pick: These taste great in just about any combination.

Recommended wine: Riesling, Sake, Sauvignon Blanc
Ramen Noodles on the menu? Try pairing with Riesling, Sake, and Sauvignon Blanc. Saké is an obvious choice when it comes to Japanese food. If you want to stick to grape wine, though, you might opt for sauvignon blanc or riesling. You could try Forge Cellars Classique Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.
