Cheat's Spicy Pork Ramen

Step 1: Heat the oven to 160C (140C fan forced).

Step 2: To make the pork belly, put the pork in a small baking dish so it fits snugly.

Step 3: Mix the soy sauce, mirin and 200ml water and pour over the pork belly and a little more water, if needed to just cover the meat.

Step 4: Cover tightly with foil and bake for 3 hours.

Step 5: Pour away the cooking liquid and cool the pork for 30 minutes, then wrap in clingfilm and weight down with a heavy chopping board and chill over night, or for at least 6 hours to set the shape.

Step 6: To make the broth, put the spring onions, ginger, chilli and garlic on a chopping board and bruice them with a rolling pin and then put in a pan, add the stock and simmer gently for 15 minutes.

Step 7: Strain all the solids and discard them.

Step 8: Slice the pork into neat slices and reheat it in the broth, adding a plash of soy sauce and sesame oil for flavour.

Step 9: Cook the ramen following the packet instructions and drain and divide the noodles between 4 warmed bowls and then add a handful of spinach to each bowl, then pour over the simmering broth and top with a few slices of pork, egg halves, bean sprouts and spring onion.
