Recipe

Wash the leeks and scallions thoroughly, then stand them upright in a colander to drain completely.
Lightly sear the fatty parts of the pork on the surface in a pan until slightly charred, to remove any unappealing white appearance.
Place the seared pork in a pressure cooker to shorten cooking time and quickly boil until tender.
Gently shred the well-boiled pork along the grain into bite-sized pieces for the topping.
To ensure the soupless noodles mix well without falling apart, fill a noodle bowl with hot water and preheat the bowl completely.
Add the noodles to boiling water, cook until al dente, then drain and remove excess water.
Discard the hot water from the preheated bowl. Spread lard (or cooking oil for a cleaner taste) and the soy sauce-based sauce at the bottom.
Place the cooked noodles on top of the sauce, then generously garnish with the prepared pork topping, drained leeks, and scallions to finish.

Wash and drain vegetables by standing them upright. Sear pork fat, then boil and shred in a pressure cooker.
Preheat the noodle bowl with hot water and cook the noodles, then drain.
Spread lard and soy sauce in the preheated bowl, add noodles and toppings, and mix to eat.

Cooking tips

To achieve the rich and savory flavor characteristic of abura soba, using lard is recommended over cooking oil.
For long vegetables like leeks and scallions, standing them upright after washing helps them drain much better.
For soupless noodle dishes, preheating the bowl is crucial to ensure the sauce mixes well and stays warm until the end.
Searing the pork fat until slightly charred can improve its appearance and add a nutty flavor, complementing the otherwise white and fatty cut.
