Chris is one of our keenest and most loyal users and has been from day one! Chris says "this recipe has kind of evolved. The wife and I love Wagamama's and used to go there a lot, but our addiction was getting expensive so I thought I would have a go at home. With a bit of experimentation, I ended up with this recipe and being doing it for a couple of years now" Well Chris, we love it, congratulations on the win and thank you for being such a loyal foodie!
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Place pork belly slices in a mixing bowl along with the five spice, and season with salt and a dash of sesame seed oil. Mix well until coated and place into the fridge to marinate for about an hour.
Step 2
When you are ready to eat, preheat the oven to 220°c/200°C fan. Add a splash of veg oil to a frying pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Once hot, add the pork belly stripes and cook until golden and the fat has rendered and crispy (about 2 minutes per side). Now place in the oven for 20mins to finish cooking. (Ensure your pan is oven-proof before you do this, if not, place the belly onto a baking dish before roasting).
Step 3
To make the broth, pour the chicken stock, mirin, miso and sriracha (if using) into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Slice the peppers and prepare the pak choi
Step 4
Heat a frying pan on a medium-high heat and add another splash of sesame oil. Fry the pak choi until lightly coloured then remove from the pan (2-3 minutes). Into the same frying pan, add a final splash of sesame seed oil turn the heat to high and add the sliced peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes, adding light soy at the end and reheat the pak choi. Add the noodles to the simmering broth for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the pork belly from the oven and slice into 1cm stripes. Place the pieces into serving bowls, and add the stir-fried pepper, pak choi and noodles from the broth. Pour the broth over the ramen and finally add chopped spring onions and chillis to garnish. What a cracker! 💥
