Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak pork bones and trotters in cold water for 30 minutes to draw out blood.

  2. 2

    Blanch bones in boiling water for 10 minutes, then rinse clean.

  3. 3

    Simmer bones with garlic and ginger on high heat for 7-8 hours until broth is milky white.

  4. 4

    Braise pork belly in soy sauce and mirin to make chashu.

  5. 5

    Soft-boil eggs and marinate in chashu braising liquid for 2 hours.

  6. 6

    Cook noodles, place in hot broth, and top with chashu, egg, and green onion.

Tips

Never reduce to low heat while simmering. Keep it at a rolling boil for the milky white color.
Making chashu a day ahead and refrigerating makes it easier to slice thinly.
