[Instruction]
[Chapter 1 : Prepare Broth & Chashu pork]
If you can, soak kombu and water from 1 hour or a night before
Poke holes on the pork belly skin
On a pan, pour 2tbsp of neutral oil, and place the pork skin side down
Cook on medium heat, then place a heavy weight on top
Cook until the skin is brown. Flip it, and cook the other side on high heat until brown too
Put the pork in the kombu water, and keep all the fat
Add neutral oil to the pork fat until total of 150g. Set aside
Add chicken mince in the kombu water
Cook on medium heat, and mix until the chicken is completely crumbled
Boil. Give it a occasional stir because chicken is easily stick to the bottom
Once it's boiled, remove kombu. Add ginger and green onion
Adjust the heat until it's lightly simmering
Place a lid, then cook for 40mins
[Chapter 2 : Shoyu Tare]
Crush garlic, thinly slice ginger, roughly tear green onion
Put everything in a pot or pan (I recommend to use non-stick pan because it's easily burnt the edges if you use silver pot)
Once it's boiled, set aside
*You can make this a day before. It develops more flavour
[Chapter 3 : Flavour oil]
Crush garlic, Slice ginger, roughly tear green onion
Put them and the pork oil we kept earlier in a non stick pan (I recommend to use non-stick pan with the same reason as Shoyu Tare)
Cook it on medium heat until sizzling
Once it's sizzling, turn down to low heat
Cook until they completely change the colour
Strain everything, then keep the veggies on a paper towel
Put some salt on the veggies, and you can eat it
Keep the flavour oil in a heat proof bowl or pot until needed
[Chapter 4 : Finish Broth & Chashu]
40mins after boiling, remove chashu from the broth
Put the chashu in the Shoyu Tare as skin side down
Boil it on medium heat
Once it's boiled, turn down to low heat
Cook 10 mins on both skin and flesh sides (Total 20 mins)
Sometime pour the sauce onto the pork to keep it moist
Meanwhile. strain the broth. Set it aside
Once the pork is cooked, let it rest at least 10 mins
Strain the Shoyu Tare. Set aside
[Chapter 5 : Presentation]
Before assembling, Pour hot water in your bowl to warm up
Prepare the topping. Slice chashu
Pour Shoyu Tare, flavour oil, and hot broth in the bowl. Mix.
Cook the noodle accordingly with the packet instruction
Put the noodle in the bowl
Quickly put the topping, then serve
