IT’S KIND OF A PIG DEAL…
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the Pork belly dry with some paper towel. Place a pan, with a lid, over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the pork belly and sear for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned. On completion, remove from the pan and place on a greased baking tray. Roast in the hot oven for 6-8 minutes until cooked through and golden. On completion, thinly slice and cover with tinfoil to keep warm until serving.
THE BROTH & THE BEAUTIFUL
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 400ml of boiling water. Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Ginger slices and the spring onion whites. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the tomato paste and the Gochujang (to taste) and fry for about 1 minute, shifting constantly. Pour in the diluted stock. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced and all the flavours have combined.
ALL IS NOT AS IT STEAMS
Separate the leaves of the trimmed pak choi and rinse well. Return the pan to a medium heat with a splash of water. When hot, add the pak choi leaves, cover with the lid, and steam for 3-5 minutes until wilted. On completion, drain on paper towel and season to taste.
OPTIONAL EGG
Bring a small pot of water to the boil. Once boiling, place an egg in the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes for medium-soft, 6-8 minutes for medium, and 8-10 minutes for a medium-hard boiled egg. On completion, remove the egg from the pot and submerge in cold water. Peel when cool enough to handle and cut in half.
BACK TO THE BROTH
When the broth is done simmering, remove the Ginger slices. Stir in the soy sauce and a sweetener of choice. If the broth is too thick for your liking, add an extra splash of warm water. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes or until al dente. On completion, stir through ½ the julienne carrots.
RAMEN HEAVEN
Bowl up a generous helping of the ramen. Top with the pak choi, the Pork belly strips, the boiled egg (if using), and the remaining julienne carrots. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, chopped coriander, and spring onion greens. Simply stunning, Chef!
