Ingredients
Preparation
Cover the pork bones (500 g) with water in a pot, bring to a boil and let boil vigorously for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse thoroughly – this ensures a clear, pure broth.
Cover the bones again with fresh water, add garlic (2) and ginger (20 g) and simmer gently over medium heat for several hours until the broth is beautifully creamy.
While the broth is simmering, sear the pork belly (200 g) with a little soy sauce (30 ml) in a pan on all sides and then cut into thin slices.
Place the egg (1) in boiling water for exactly 6.5 minutes, then immediately shock in ice water and peel carefully.
Cook the ramen noodles (100 g) until al dente according to package instructions and place in a large bowl.
Pour the hot, rich broth over the noodles, garnish with the pork belly (200 g), the halved egg (1) and finely chopped spring onion (1).
Finish with a dash of sesame oil (10 ml) and enjoy immediately – bon appétit!
