Miso Pork Ramen

This adapted miso pork ramen recipe makes a rich and delicious dish that's super easy to make. The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes and only uses one pot! I recommend topping this noodle bowl with a 6 minute egg, some corn, scallions, and chili garlic oil.

Ingredients

For the Ramen

2 tablespoon salted butter
¼ cup scallions finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger paste or minced ginger
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lb pork ground
½ cup sweet miso paste (OR ⅔ cup regular miso + hefty pinch of sugar)
6 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 servings dried ramen noodles discard seasoning packet

For the Optional Toppings

2 drunken eggs halved
½ cup canned corn drained
¼ cup scallions finely chopped
2 tablespoon Crispy Chili Oil
2 teaspoon salted butter

Instructions

Start by adding the butter, scallions, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt to a soup pot over medium heat.
Cook this mixture for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic and scallions have softened - but not browned.
Add the ground pork and break it apart into tiny crumbles using a spatula.
Once this mixture is cooked through, then add the miso paste and soy sauce and stir it into the meat.
Next, pour the broth on top and stir everything together. Let this mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
Add dried noodles to the pot and submerge them into the broth.
Let the noodles cook for about 4 minutes, stirring every so often, or until they're cooked through.
Pour into deep bowls and use whatever toppings you’d like. Serve immediately.

Notes

Some misos are sweeter than others! If you taste your soup and realize that it needs more balance, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir. This will help balance out the saltiness.

I recommend using homemade broth if you have it because it really does make a difference. However, if you're in a pinch, store bought chicken broth will totally work, too! I buy a low sodium variety because then i can control the salt level a little more!
