Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a pot of salted water to boil for eggs. Once boiling, add eggs and cook for 6 minutes until yolk is set but still slightly soft inside.

  2. Step 2

    Cut pork belly into 4 thick slices. Heat a skillet over medium-high until very hot, then sear pork skin-side down without moving for 3 minutes until skin crisps and renders.

  3. Step 3

    Flip pork and sear flesh side 90 seconds more. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Pour broth into the same skillet off heat. Whisk in miso paste and soy sauce until smooth, then return to medium heat and bring to a bare simmer.

  5. Step 5

    Cook ramen noodles separately in boiling water until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain well.

  6. Step 6

    Divide noodles between two bowls, pour hot miso broth over, then top each with 2 pork belly slices, 1 soft-boiled egg (halved), scallions, and nori. Serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch heavy skillet or cast-iron pan
  • medium pot (for boiling eggs and noodles)
