Pork belly Ramen
Description
Pork belly ramen starts by roasting bone-in pork belly seasoned with salt and pepper at a low temperature until fully cooked and tender. The bones from the belly are used to make a flavorful broth by simmering with carrots, spring onions, garlic, ginger, chicken stock, and a blend of soy sauce, fish sauce, ponzu, and miso paste for two to three hours. This slow simmer produces a golden, deeply aromatic broth that forms the heart of the dish.
After chilling, the pork belly is sliced thin and warmed briefly in the broth before serving. Cooked noodles and boiled eggs accompany the pork, and fresh sliced spring onions add brightness. The texture of the pork belly contrasts with the tender noodles and velvety broth, with the soy and miso providing a layered umami flavor.
This ramen bowl makes a substantial meal, blending richly flavored broth with tender meat and simple garnishes. Serve immediately to enjoy the balance of hot broth and tender pork. The broth can be adjusted to taste with additional soy sauce if desired.
