It was a mega day. Also made pork buns, and used some belly meat in the soup (its under the sprouts). For the "at home" quicker version, I just changed up the broth and the noodles. Can't really go easier on the egg, veggies, and meat. I recently just make 4-5lbs of the pork belly below and froze it vacusealed, since it takes a day and a half and with that fat content, I think it will freeze well.
For the 'easy' broth, I just kind made it up. I crushed a clove or two of garlic, had a leftover half onion and tossed them in about a quart and a half h20. put in bonito flakes, kombu, and some ginger. added some chicken stock and simmered. I suppose you could use instant dashi too to nix the kombu. Bonito flakes were key. simmered for 30 min, then strained. added a little soy for flavor and some spicy garlic paste when i made the bowl up.
My favorite? the cabbage. sounds weird, but char up some cabbage in a cast iron pot and that totally makes the dish.
noodles were kikkokin "oriental style noodle" just found in local asian market
