  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp black ground pepper
  • 3 cups pork broth
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil

  • Heat oil in a wok or a deep pan over medium heat. Cook the pork belly slices until crispy and golden. Remove from wok and set aside.
  • Using the same wok or pan, sauté onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant. Tip in carrots and chayote then cook until soft and tender. Add ground black pepper and fish sauce, give it a quick stir then remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  • Pour the 3 cups pork broth and soy sauce in the wok or pan. Bring to a simmer for 10 minutes then taste and season if needed. Add miki noodles and stir to coat noodles with sauce.
  • Add cooked pork belly and vegetables then stir to incorporate. Simmer for 10 minutes while occasionally stirring until the noodles are cooked through and there's still some sauce remaining.
  • Remove from heat and serve while still warm. Bon appetit!
