Let's Get Started
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well.
- Place the pork belly in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Remove the pork belly from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork belly is tender and caramelized.
- While the pork belly is cooking, prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the eggs for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled consistency. Remove from heat, cool in ice water, and peel.
- Slice the cooked pork belly into thin slices.
- To assemble the ramen bowls, divide the cooked noodles between two bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles.
- Top with sliced pork belly, soft-boiled eggs, green onions, bean sprouts, corn kernels, and torn nori sheets.
- Drizzle with sesame oil and chili oil for added flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
