Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 200 g minced pork
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cabbage or bok choy
- 2 tablespoons water
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender, then drain and set aside to prevent overcooking during stir-fry.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onion, sautéing until fragrant and onions become translucent to build flavor.
- Cook the Pork: Add minced pork to the wok and stir-fry until it is thoroughly browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks for even texture.
- Add Spices: Stir in the curry powder, coating the pork evenly to release the aromatic spices into the dish.
- Season the Mixture: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and water to the wok. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and create a flavorful sauce base.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the cabbage or bok choy to the wok and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until tender but still crisp, absorbing flavors from the sauce.
- Toss Noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the wok and toss everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of curry powder to increase or reduce the spice level according to preference.
- Add chili flakes if you prefer a spicier kick to the dish.
- For variations, substitute minced pork with minced chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
