    How to Make Asian Pork and Veggie Ramen

    1. Prepare Pork Marinade

    Whisk together 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and the cornstarch in a bowl. Add the sliced pork tenderloin to the bowl and toss to coat it thoroughly, then set it aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.

    2. Prepare Broth Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, the remaining 3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Set this mixture aside as well.

    3. Cook Mushrooms

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned.

    4. Add Ginger and Garlic

    Once the mushrooms are browned, add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring not to let the garlic burn.

    5. Add Broth and Cook Noodles

    Pour the broth mixture into the skillet and bring it to a boil. Arrange the ramen noodles in the skillet, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Let the noodles cook for 3 minutes. Uncover the skillet, flip the noodles, and stir them to help separate them. Spread the noodles evenly in the skillet and scatter the broccoli florets over the top. Cover the skillet again and cook for another 3 minutes, tossing the broccoli halfway through.

    6. Cook Pork

    Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat until just smoking. Add the marinated pork in a single layer, breaking up any clumps, and cook without stirring for 1 minute. Stir the pork and continue to cook until it is no longer pink, about 1 minute longer.

    7. Combine and Serve

    Divide the pork among the bowls of noodles and vegetables. Sprinkle the sliced scallions over the top of each bowl and serve your delicious Asian Pork and Veggie Ramen hot. Enjoy!

    Variations

    Soft-Boiled Egg

    Marinate in soy and mirin for a sweet and salty treat.

    Eggs

    Soft-boiled, marinated (ajitsuke tamago), or even a fried egg on top.

    Miso Paste

    Add a spoonful to infuse umami.

    Shiitake Mushrooms

    For a deeper, earthy flavor.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Quality of Ingredients

    Use fresh, locally sourced produce and high-quality cuts of pork like pork belly or shoulder for better flavor.

    Balance of Flavors

    Adjust the broth's salty, sweet, sour, and spicy elements to achieve a balanced flavor profile.

    Broth Basics

    Simmer broth with onion, garlic, ginger, and kombu. Enhance store-bought broth with sake or miso paste for authenticity.

    Pork Preparation

    Marinate the pork with soy sauce, mirin, garlic, and ginger for depth of flavor and sear it well.

    Umami Enhancement

    Add umami boosters like shiitake mushrooms, fermented bamboo shoots, or fish sauce to deepen flavors.
