When I visited Tokushima, I was amazed! Ramen made with thinly sliced pork belly was incredibly delicious! You can make this at home in no time. Plus, with a strong helper like Chinese soup base, it might even taste better than some ramen shops!
About this recipe:
I discovered Chinese soup base (Weipa) two years ago. At first, I tried making soup with it and thought, "Wow—this tastes just like ramen!" Since then, I've been hooked on making ramen at home. I used to spend a lot of time making chashu pork, but when I went to Tokushima, I was surprised! Instead of chashu, they top the ramen with sweet and savory simmered thinly sliced pork belly! And it's delicious! I just had to try making it myself.
