Whilst it continues to simmer, in a large frying pan, add the pork skin-side down. Fry on a high heat for 3 minutes until each side is charred. Turn to a low heat, add a splash of water, then add a lid and steam for 4-7 minutes until cooked (dependent on how thick the pork is).
Whilst the pork cooks, slice the spring onion and add to the stock along with the spinach and noodles. Simmer for 5 minutes.
For one serving, add half the stock-noodle mixture. Peel an egg and cut in half. Add 2 pork belly slices, 2 egg halves, fresh coriander and sesame seeds. Sprinkle over black pepper and serve!
