Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat pork belly dry. Cut into 2-inch chunks. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Sear pork skin-side down 3-4 minutes until skin is golden and fat renders. Flip, cook 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Pour dashi into the pot. Whisk in miso paste until smooth. Add pork back in, bring to a simmer.

  4. Step 4

    Add noodles directly to the broth. Cook 3-4 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, boil the eggs in a separate pot for 6 minutes, then shock in ice water.

  5. Step 5

    Divide noodles and broth between bowls. Top each with pork belly, a halved soft-boiled egg, scallions, and nori.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with steamed rice on the side.
