Step 1
In a pot, combine 4 cups chicken broth, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1/4 cup mirin. Add 1/2 lb pork belly and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is tender, about 1 hour. Skim any foam that rises.
Step 3
Meanwhile, soft-boil 2 eggs: simmer for 6-7 minutes, then plunge into ice water. Peel and halve.
Step 4
Cook 12 oz ramen noodles according to package, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
Step 5
Remove pork from broth, slice thinly, and set aside. Keep broth warm.
