Here, I’ve given them a softer, more tender texture than the typical Asian version by slow-cooking them, and I think they’re all the better for it. This set-and-forget rice cooker recipe is perfect served as part of a larger banquet.

Delicious

I made this tonight and it was superb. I bought a piece of pork belly, skin on. I took it off in one piece and then crisped in the oven with a touch of 5 spice and crushed it over the top as garish. So yummy.

And it’s all thanks to a spot of meecro-wah-way magic. Yep, the humble microwave is taking the Japanese shoyu ramen – typically made in 30+ hours – to new heights. Never making ramen the same way again!

Ingredients
Steps
Step 1

To make the chashu pork, add soy salt, sugar, mirin and sake to a large, microwave-safe deep dish. Stir to mix, then add the garlic cloves and ginger, followed by 1 cup of water.

Step 2

Roll the pork belly into a tight roll and use kitchen twine to truss (watch the video for my very easy technique!). Place the pork into the marinade then roll until it’s covered all over. Transfer the dish to the microwave and select the Steam function for 60 minutes, flipping the pork halfway.

Step 3

At the end of the cook, remove the pork from the liquid and transfer to a roasting rack, sitting atop of a convection-safe bake tray. Marinate with a little of the cooking liquid, reserving the rest for later. Grill on high heat for 5 minutes, then glaze with more of the liquid. Repeat process a further 3 times until the pork is looking crispy, golden and charry. Allow to cool.

Step 4

On to the broth. Place chicken wings and carrots into a convection-safe dish. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, then give everything a good mix with your hands. Transfer dish to the microwave, then use the Combination setting for 30 minutes. 

Step 5

Transfer the roasted wings, carrots and any cooking juices to a lidded microwave-safe dish. Add in the kombu, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and spring onions, plus 6 cups of water. Cover with the lid and microwave for 15 minutes. Once the time is up, carefully (it will be very hot!) remove the dish from the microwave and take off the lid.

Step 6

Remove and reserve the shiitake mushrooms for later, then remove and discard the chicken and aromatics. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve.

Step 7

Spread the dried ramen noodles out in the base of a large microwave-safe container, then cover with room temperature water. Microwave at 1000W for 13 minutes. Strain and leave aside.

Step 8

Meanwhile, for the tare, add ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine. Divide the tare among your individual serving bowls, then divide the noodles up and share among the individual serving bowls, placing on top of the tare.

Step 9

To poach the eggs, fill 4 small bowls halfway with water. Add a ½ teaspoon of vinegar to each bowl. Crack an egg into each. Use a toothpick to poke 2 holes in the white and yolk parts of the egg (this will stop them from exploding in the microwave). Microwave at 1000W for 3 minutes. 

Step 10

To serve, ladle shoyu broth over the noodles. Top with slices of chashu pork, poached eggs and a scattering of spring onion.

Notes:

– Mirin is a type of Japanese cooking rice wine (it has less alcohol than sake but is sweeter). It’s available in the Asian aisle of some major supermarkets or from an Asian grocery store.

– Kombu is a firm dried seaweed that you can buy from any Asian or Japanese grocery store.

– This recipe was made in the Panasonic All-in-One Convection Microwave Oven

Crunch time: How to get crispy pork crackling

If you’re wondering how to perfect crackling on your roast pork, wonder no more.

How to perfect crackling roast pork
PRINT THIS

Few people can resist juicy, tender pork belly with extra-crispy crackling – it’s a match made in heaven! You’ll need to plan ahead and put in some overnight prep if you want to achieve the ultimate crunch, but I promise it’ll be worth it. If you’re after a roast pork to wow the crowds over the holiday season (Christmas roast pork is JUST as good as turkey in my book), while entertaining or for a weekend lunch with loved ones, read on. Or watch on – I’ve got a video on my crispy roast pork below if you’re a more visual person.

No-fail pork belly

All the crackling tips you need await in this pork belly recipe!

Buying pork belly

Head to your supermarket or butcher to buy pork belly. I like to buy a piece that has a decent amount of meat on it and isn’t too fatty. But you will of course need that all-important skin on top, so that’s the non-negotiable part! The strip of fat underneath the skin shouldn’t be too thick either, as you want to ensure it has time to really render down.

How to perfect crackling roast pork

Roast pork with crispy crackling begins with selecting the perfect piece of pork belly.

Preparing pork belly

Start the day before you want to serve your pork. If you have a Chinese hole puncher or pork skin pricker, you can use that to puncture holes all over the pork skin. Alternatively, you could use toothpicks to poke as many holes as possible into the skin of the pork belly. As they go blunt, replace and use new ones. It’s definitely worth this step, but if you’re in a rush, just progress to the next phase.

Scoring the skin

How to perfect crackling roast pork

The best knife for scoring pork rind? A utility or stanley knife. Together with a metal ruler, use it score the pork skin at about 1 centimetre (around 3/8”) intervals. You want to cut through the skin and a little of the fat, but not go into the meat underneath (otherwise all those juices are going to bubble up and scupper your crispy goals). When you’re done, pat the skin dry with paper towel – moisture is your enemy here, so you want things as dry as possible. 

 

Now rub the skin with about a tablespoon of sea salt flakes, making sure you get it nice and covered and into those grooves. Sit your pork belly on a baking tray and chill in the fridge (uncovered) for at least 2 hours – although overnight is even better.

Time to cook that pork belly!

Once ready, take your pork belly out of the fridge and wipe it dry with some more paper towel. To make sure the pork skin is super dry, you could even use a hairdryer to blow hot air over it!

How to perfect crackling roast pork

If time is short…

Drizzle a little oil over the skin, and an extra sprinkling of salt for flavour. Now transfer it, skin-side down, to a baking dish, and cover with baking paper. Place a heavy oven-proof dish on top to weigh things down and keep the skin nice and flat, then transfer to a hot, 200°C/390°F oven for an hour. Then remove the weight and baking paper and turn pork belly over so it is skin-side up. Roast for a further 10 minutes.

If you’ve got longer…

More time up your sleeve? Let’s slow roast! Going low and slow is going to turn all that collagen into gelatin, so it’ll be soft and glorious and perfectly rendered. 

 

I like to do a crosshatch scoring pattern to maximise those grooves, then follow the same steps as before to dry it overnight. Wipe it with paper towels again the next day. This time, you want the oven at 150°C/300°F. 

 

Place an oven-proof wire rack onto a baking tray and brush the rack with a little oil. Place the pork on top, skin side up and roast in the oven for 90 minutes. Then turn the heat up to 240°C/460°F and roast for a further 30-40 minutes or until the skin is super crispy.

How to perfect crackling roast pork

Enjoy the crunch

And that’s all there is to getting perfect cracking! You’ll also be pleased to know I have a pork belly air fryer recipe too to further rock your world. 

 

Serve your crispy pork belly with traditional trimmings, such as roast potatoes and veggies, or go for a light and bright accompaniment, such as Asian slaw or a delicious salad.
