For minced pork stir-fry

  • 200 grams minced pork meat

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger minced or powder
  • 1 tbsp spicy bean sauce Doubanjiang
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For tare (paste soup base)

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame paste
  • 1 tbsp Japanese chili oil rayu
  • 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp pepper powder
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

For broth

For toppings

  • 1 head of baby bok choy blanched
  • some bean sprouts
  • 1 soft-boiled egg
  • 1 spring onion chopped
  • 1 tsp crushed peanuts or toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • First you need to stir-fry the ground meat. Heat your frying pan and add 1 tbsp of vegetable cooking oil and add the minced ginger and garlic.
  • Add the ground pork meat and fry it until it turns brown. Then remove it from the pan and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the spicy bean paste, rayu chilli oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Set this mixture aside.
  • In a pot, bring the chicken stock and almond milk to a low simmer and mix well so the soy milk combines with the stock to create a soup broth.
  • If you want to add baby bok choy, blanche it for about a minute or two. At this time you can also soft boil the ramen egg.
  • Prepare the ramen noodles according to package instructions or boil fresh ramen noodles for a few minutes. You have to cook the noodles in boiling water.
  • Add the spicy bean paste mixture to the bottom of the serving bowl, pour the chicken stock mixture on top and combine well. Then, add the ramen noodles to the broth.
  • Place the fried ground pork on top of the noodles.
  • Add the bok choy and egg on top and sprinkle with green onion, bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts.
  • Now your ramen noodle soup is ready to serve!
