Step 1
Cut pork belly into 2-inch cubes, leaving skin attached. Heat a large skillet over medium-high until very hot, ~2 minutes.
Step 2
Add pork skin-side down. Cook 6–7 minutes without moving until skin is golden and crispy, rendering the fat.
Step 3
Flip and cook meat side 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate; pour off all but 1 tbsp fat from the pan.
Step 4
Add soy sauce, mirin, and dashi to the hot pan. Stir and simmer 2 minutes until slightly glossy. Return pork to warm through.
Step 5
Boil noodles in salted water until al dente, ~3 minutes. Drain and divide into two bowls. Pour broth over; top with pork.
Step 6
Slice scallions and scatter over. Serve hot, dipping noodles into broth between bites.
