Method
Restated from the original video
- 1
The yolks stay soft, so choose pasteurized eggs when serving anyone pregnant, elderly, very young or immunocompromised.
- 2
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and lower in the eggs. Boil for 7 min for a set white and a jammy yolk.
- 3
Move the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 min, then peel them.
- 4
Mix 2 tbsp of the soy sauce with 1 tbsp of the mirin and 2 tbsp water in a small bag or container. Add the eggs and marinate for at least 30 min, turning once.
- 5
Mix the remaining 3 tbsp soy sauce, remaining 2 tbsp mirin and the sake in a small bowl. This is the seasoning base for the broth.
- 6
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork belly slices until browned on both sides, 2-3 min per side.
- 7
Pour in half of the seasoning base and simmer, turning the slices, until glazed and cooked through, 3-4 min. Set aside.
- 8
Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 1 min until fragrant.
- 9
Add the stock and dashi, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 min. Stir in the rest of the seasoning base and remove the garlic and ginger.
- 10
Boil the noodles in plenty of unsalted water, following the packet time, usually 2-3 min. Drain well.
- 11
Divide the noodles between two deep bowls and ladle the hot broth over them.
- 12
Halve the eggs and arrange them in the bowls with the pork, bamboo shoots, scallions and a sheet of nori. Serve at once.
