Categories     Pork

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE RAMEN AND PORK
1/2 lb boneless pork chop, cut into bite-size cubes
1 Tbsp tamari, or liquid aminos
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar, unseasoned
1 Tbsp grapeseed oil, or other non-flavored oil
1 - 1 1/2 c beef stock, not broth
3 oz dry ramen noodles, 1 package
SPICE IDEAS (MORE ON THIS LATER)
onion powder
garlic powder
white pepper
ground ginger
red pepper flakes
salt, kosher variety
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
fish sauce, served at the table
sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Do not have (or like) pork; use diced beef, chicken, or even a good firm white fish. Or leave the protein out and make it vegetarian.
  • 3. Want some veggies? How about adding diced carrots, sliced celery, broccoli florets, chopped onions... whatever you fancy.
  • 4. The above list of spices are some of the ones I used to make this recipe. It involved a pinch of this and a dash of that until I liked what I tasted. Have some fun with it.
  • 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 6. Add the tamari, rice wine, and grapeseed oil to a bowl, then toss in the pork, and coat.
  • 7. Place, covered, in the fridge for about an hour.
  • 8. Place a skillet over medium, heat, and then add the pork; including all of the marinade.
  • 9. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pork loses its pink, and the bottom of the pan begins developing a coating of the evaporating marinade.
  • 10. Add 1 cup of the stock, reduce the heat to medium low, and scrap up the brown bits (fonds) and dissolve them into the stock. Allow the stock to simmer for 2 - 3 minutes.
  • 11. While the stock is simmering, add the veggies, if using. In addition, try adding a few of the dry spices, until you like what you are tasting.
  • 12. Add the ramen noodles, and allow them to simmer, until they absorb the stock and soften, about 3 - 4 minutes.
  • 13. If the pan begins drying out, add more stock.
  • 14. Remove from the heat and allow to stand for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • 15. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 16. Serve while nice and warm. Enjoy.
  • 17. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

This dish was a disappointment. The pork was tough and the sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm not a huge fan of pork, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so good that I didn't even miss the beef.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
