Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Minced pork
- 2 portions Ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
- 3 stalks Green onion (negi), thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sake (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chicken broth or water
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sake (if using), sugar, and chicken broth or water. Set aside the sauce mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the minced pork to the pan. Stir-fry and break it up with a spatula until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced green onions (negi) and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the pan and stir well to coat the pork and onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and toss in the cooked noodles, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce and pork mixture.
Drizzle sesame oil over the noodles and give everything a final stir.
Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chili flakes (if desired).
