Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the sliced pork belly over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

- Stir in the miso paste and soy sauce, mixing well to combine with the aromatic base.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls.
- Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, then top with slices of crispy pork belly, chopped green onions, bean sprouts, corn kernels, and halved soft-boiled eggs.
- Serve hot and enjoy your comforting bowl of Asahikawa Ramen!
