Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, add the pork belly and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Skim any foam that rises to the surface.

  2. 2

    Add Flavor

    Once the pork is tender (about 1.5 hours), add the red miso paste, minced garlic, and chopped onion to the pot. Stir until the miso has dissolved.

  3. 3

    Cook the Noodles

    In a separate pot, boil water and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Toppings

    While the noodles are cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the grilled pork, and if using canned bamboo shoots and fish cakes, drain them.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Ramen

    In bowls, add a portion of cooked noodles, ladle the hot broth over the noodles, and top with sliced pork, sweet corn, fish cakes, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and fried onions.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with chili powder and add a smear of chili paste on top. Serve hot.
