Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb cubed pork belly and brown on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Add 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 1 tbsp sugar, and 6 cups chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and braise pork for 1 hour until tender.
Step 3: While pork braises, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 4 servings fresh ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp sesame oil with 3 thinly sliced scallions and 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
Step 5: To assemble, divide noodles into 4 bowls. Ladle hot broth and pork over noodles. Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg cut in half and drizzle with sesame-scallion oil mixture. Adjust salt to taste before serving.
