Description
A delicious and spicy noodle soup featuring ground pork, ramen noodles, and a rich broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces ramen noodles
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the tahini, soy sauce, and chili paste to the pot, stirring well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the sesame oil, sliced green onions, and baby spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles into bowls and ladle the broth and pork mixture over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more chili paste or top with sliced fresh chili peppers.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute ground pork with crumbled tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
