Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soft-boil eggs: lower into boiling water, cook exactly 6.5 minutes, then plunge into ice water. Peel and halve.

  2. Step 2

    Brown pork belly in a dry pan over medium-high heat until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and mirin, toss to glaze.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk sesame paste, minced garlic, and soy sauce into warmed pork broth. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  4. Step 4

    Cook noodles per package directions. Divide into deep bowls, pour hot broth over, then top with pork, halved egg, bamboo shoots, nori, and green onions. Drizzle sesame oil.
