Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pork belly (chashu pork), skin removed
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons miso paste (red or blend of red and white)
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (60 ml), naturally brewed
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1–2 teaspoons chili paste or sriracha (adjust to heat preference)
  • 4 servings ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional toppings: nori sheets, bamboo shoots, corn, bean sprouts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chashu pork: Roll pork belly into a tight log and tie with kitchen twine.
  2. In a large pot, combine soy sauce (60 ml), mirin (30 ml), 1 tablespoon sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and 1 cup (240 ml) water. Bring to a boil.
  3. Add pork belly, reduce heat to low, and simmer covered for 1 hour, turning occasionally until tender but not falling apart.
  4. Remove pork, let cool slightly, then slice into 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick pieces. Reserve braising liquid.
  5. Make the broth: In the same pot, add chicken broth, reserved pork braising liquid, miso paste, toasted sesame oil, and chili paste. Stir to combine.
  6. Simmer gently for 20 minutes to meld flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with soy sauce or chili paste if needed.
  7. Cook soft boiled eggs: Bring water to a boil in a separate saucepan. Gently lower eggs into boiling water and cook for exactly 6 minutes.
  8. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Peel carefully once cool.
  9. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (3-4 minutes fresh, 5-6 minutes dried). Drain and rinse briefly under warm water.
  10. Assemble bowls: Divide noodles into bowls. Ladle hot miso broth over noodles.
  11. Top with sliced chashu pork, halved soft boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and optional toppings like nori or bamboo shoots.

Notes

To keep broth creamy and smooth, stir miso paste into a small amount of warm broth before adding to pot to avoid clumps. Watch pork while braising and add water if liquid evaporates too much. Use a sharp knife for clean pork slices. Soft boiled eggs should be cooked exactly 6 minutes and cooled immediately in ice water for perfect texture. Adjust chili paste gradually to control spice level. Broth can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in fridge.
