Ingredients

Scale

1 teaspoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves minced
2 teaspoons ginger (Fresh and minced; ¼ teaspoon if using ground)
1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
½ cup grated carrots
6 cups chicken broth
3–4 tablespoons soy sauce or liquid aminos
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice apple vinegar
6 oz ramen noodles

Instructions

Heat a Dutch oven on medium-high heat.
Add the olive oil followed by the beef belly slices. Sear until crispy for about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove from pot and set aside.
Drain excess fat but retain some in the pot for flavor. Adjust heat to medium.
Add garlic, ginger, carrots, and mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are soft.
Pour in the broth slowly to deglaze the pot, scraping up brown bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in soy sauce, rice apple vinegar, and sesame oil. Cook uncovered for about 10 minutes; taste and adjust spices as needed.
Add ramen noodles directly into the pot with the broth. Cook until noodles are softened as per package instructions.
Ladle soup into bowls. Top with crispy beef belly slices.
