Method
1
Boil the eggs 6.5 minutes exactly, then straight into ice water — jammy center, sliceable white.
💡
The 6:30 egg is a law of physics. Set a real timer.
2
Crisp the pork belly slices in a dry pan; glaze with the soy sauce in the last minute.
3
Simmer stock with garlic and ginger 10 minutes. Off the boil, whisk the miso through a sieve into the broth.
💡
Boiling miso kills its aroma — it goes in at the end, always.
4
Cook noodles and blanch bok choy. Build bowls: noodles, broth, pork, halved egg, bok choy, scallions, nori, and a drop of sesame oil.
From the chef
Notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of water.
Freezing
Freezes well up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating
Reheat gently: covered in a 160°C oven for 15 minutes, or in a pan over medium-low with a splash of water or stock. The microwave works at 50% power in short bursts — full blast toughens proteins.
Make ahead
Most braises and sauces improve overnight. Sear-and-serve dishes: do every step up to the final cook, then finish fresh.
Wine pairing
Match the weight of the dish — ask the AI Chef for a specific bottle.
Beer pairing
Match intensity: lagers for delicate dishes, amber ales for roasted flavors, stouts for the rich and braised.
