Ingredients

  • 8 oz ground pork
  • Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 Tbsp chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 C chopped green onions

For the Ramen

  • 1 ramen noodle cake I suggest Lotus Foods Brown Rice & Millet
  • 2 C ramen broth I suggest Costco Tonkotsu Pork Ramen Broth
  • 1 C water

Garnish

  • chopped green onions
  • Chili garlic sauce
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the ramen. Bring the broth and water to a boil, then add the ramen noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the broth. I like my ramen thicker and less soupy, so I let the noodles continue to simmer after they're tender until most of the broth has been absorbed. If you prefer a soupier ramen, remove the noodles from the heat once they're done cooking so you have more broth remaining.
  2. Make the sauce. Meanwhile, whisk together the hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, chicken broth, garlic cloves, and chopped green onions.
  3. Brown the ground pork. Add the ground pork to a skillet over medium heat and let it sit for 1-2 minute per side to get some crust. Then cook, breaking it into small pieces as it browns. If the skillet becomes too dry, add a splash of water.
  4. Add the sauce. Pour the sauce over the ground pork and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  5. Simmer the pork. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened and coats the meat.
  6. Assemble the ramen bowls. Divide the ramen noodles between two bowls and top with the seasoned ground pork, sliced green onions, chili garlic sauce, and sesame seeds.
