Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill 8 oz pork belly slices for 3-4 minutes per side until edges are slightly crisp and pork is cooked through.
Step 2: In a large pot, combine 4 cups dashi stock, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 1-inch sliced fresh ginger, 3 smashed garlic cloves, and 3 dried shiitake mushrooms. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook gently for 25 minutes to develop flavor.
Step 3: Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully add 4 large eggs and boil for exactly 7 minutes for soft yolks. Transfer eggs to ice water and peel once cool.
Step 4: Remove ginger, garlic, and mushrooms from broth. Slice grilled pork belly thinly and add to broth along with 1 tsp sesame oil.
Step 5: Cook 4 servings fresh ramen noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender, then divide into bowls.
Step 6: Ladle hot broth with pork over noodles, halve soft-boiled eggs and place on top, and garnish with 2 thinly sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
