Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced pork belly to the pot and cook until browned and crispy, approximately 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage, bean sprouts, and sliced green onions. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
- Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring water to a boil for the eggs. Cook the eggs for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled or 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled. Remove the eggs, cool them under cold water, peel, and set aside.
- Divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth and vegetable mixture over the noodles.
- Halve the boiled eggs and place them on top of the ramen bowls.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy hot!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a splash of chili oil or a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi before serving.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with items like nori (seaweed), corn, or bamboo shoots for added texture and flavor.
