- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (393 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: alcohol, celery, egg, fish, gluten, pork, soy
Ingredients
- 120 g Egg noodles, dry
- 60 g Pork belly, raw
- 160 g Fish stock
- 14 g Soy sauce
- 5 g Sugar
- 6 g Sake
- 20 g Bamboo shoots, canned
- 8 g Scallions, raw
Method
- Simmer the pork belly in water to cover for 30-40 minutes until tender, then slice.
- Simmer the fish stock (dashi stand-in) with the soy sauce, sugar and sake for 15-20 minutes until it reduces slightly and concentrates in flavour; this is the dipping broth, meant to be stronger than a drinking soup.
- Add the sliced pork and bamboo shoots to the dipping broth and keep warm.
- Cook the noodles in a separate pot of boiling water until tender, then drain and rinse briefly under cold water to firm them up.
- Pile the chilled noodles onto a plate and pour the hot concentrated broth with pork and bamboo shoots into a separate bowl alongside.
- Scatter the broth with scallion, and dip small bundles of noodles into it before eating.
