  1. 1

    Boil the eggs for 6 minutes 30 seconds, cool in iced water, peel and halve them.

    6 min 30 s
  2. 2

    Heat the sesame oil in a pan over a high heat. Fry the pork for 5 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute.

    5 min
  3. 3

    Add the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, miso and stock. Simmer for 12 minutes.

    12 min
  4. 4

    Mix the cornflour with the water and stir it in. Simmer for 1 minute until the broth is slightly glossy and clings to a spoon. Keep it hot.

  5. 5

    Cook the noodles as the pack says. Drain, rinse under cold water until chilled, and drain well. Rinsing makes them springy.

  6. 6

    Divide the noodles between plates with beansprouts, nori, spring onion and egg. Serve the hot broth in small bowls with lime wedges. Dip a few noodles at a time.
