Ingredients

Broth

8 cups chicken stock
2 lbs pork bones
1 inch ginger sliced
4 cloves garlic smashed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons miso paste

Pork Belly

1 lb pork belly skin-on
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sugar

Ramen and Toppings

12 oz ramen noodles
4 large eggs soft boiled
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup scallions sliced
1 sheet nori sliced

Instructions

1 To prepare the broth, add chicken stock, pork bones, ginger, and garlic to a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours.
2 Strain the broth to remove solids, then stir in soy sauce and miso paste. Keep warm over low heat.
3 For the pork belly, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
4 Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork belly until browned on all sides.
5 In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Pour the mixture over the pork belly and transfer to the oven. Roast for 1 hour, basting occasionally.
6 Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
7 To prepare the soft boiled eggs, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add eggs and boil for exactly 6 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then peel.
8 Slice the cooked pork belly into thin pieces.
9 To assemble, divide noodles into bowls, ladle hot broth over the top, and arrange pork belly slices, half a soft boiled egg, spinach, scallions, and nori strips on top.
