Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the pork belly over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

- While the broth is simmering, cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Once the broth is ready, remove the pork belly from the pot and slice it into thin pieces.
- Divide the cooked udon noodles into serving bowls. Pour the hot pork broth over the noodles.
- Top each bowl with sliced pork belly, soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and nori seaweed.
- Serve hot and enjoy the rich flavors of this delicious udon dish!
