Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix together the ingredients for the pork belly marinade. Add the pork belly slices and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pork belly slices in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork belly is crispy and caramelized on the outside.
In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable stock to a boil. Add the soy sauce, miso paste, sake, and salt. Reduce heat to a simmer and let the broth cook for 15-20 minutes, or until it has taken on the flavors of the seasonings.
In a separate pot, cook the fresh ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and divide the noodles evenly among 4 large bowls.
Top each bowl of noodles with a soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, torn nori, and toasted sesame seeds.
Pour the hot broth over the noodles and toppings in each bowl. Serve immediately, garnishing each bowl with a few slices of the pork belly.
