I used Shin Ramen as a base but then dolled it up with some pork belly, kimchi, romaine, and soft boiled eggs, one half soy marinated and the other half a plain soft boiled egg (I didnt want the soy to overwhelm). I wanna start looking in to making my own broth, so lemme know if you have tips hints or suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I made some really good tonkotsu with this and a couple tips from a friend
Use fresh ramen!
Looks amazing!
Looks great! Welcome to your new obsession.
Check out “Let’s Make Ramen” by Hugh Amano and Sarah Becan. It’s a comic book cookbook but will take you on a journey that covers everything you would like to know about ramen. Personally, I shortcut everything I can. So instead of making broth from scratch, I use store bought broths and also Better Than Bullion. I think of my approach as “semi-homade”. Then I use the tare as laid out in the book and adjust from there. The Ajitsuke Tamago recipe I pared down as well. Can you tell I am somewhat minimalist in my cooking? But it comes out great! Reduced sodium everything I can, because the salt content can get pretty high otherwise. For noodles, I like Maruchan and just toss the seasoning packet unless I am short on time. At first I used a lot of toppings, but think it’s better to keep things down to a meat, seasoned egg, sliced scallions and onion crisps. Let us know how you progress! You can go down the rabbit hole as deep as you want to go!
This should be in the instant ramen subreddit.
