BUBBLING AWAY
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Blanch the halved pak choi leaves until wilted but still vibrant green, 30-60 seconds. Drain on paper towel and set aside. Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water. Cook the noodles until al dente, 7-8 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
MISO EXCITED!
Return the pot to medium heat with the dashi granules, the soy base, ½ the togarashi spice (to taste), and 500ml of water. Bring to a simmer. Add the pak choi stems and simmer until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir through the miso paste (to taste) and cover. Reheat over a medium heat just before serving.
NOW FOR THE NORI
Place the nori sheet in a pan over medium heat. Toast until crispy, 30-60 seconds per side. Remove from the pan and roughly shred. Set aside.
Pork BELLY
Season the Pork belly pieces. Return the pan to medium heat (the pork will cook in its own fat). When hot, sear the pork slices until crispy and golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, reserving any rendered fat, and set aside to rest before slicing.
PUT A SPRING IN YOUR OIL
Return the pan with the rendered fat to medium heat with 20ml of oil. When hot, fry the sliced spring onion until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, reserving the oil.
RAMEN = READY!
