- 1 Tbsp dried chili peppers (adjust to your spice preference)

- A pinch of shredded ginger (adds a fresh aroma)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the pork and stir-fry until the surface is lightly browned. This helps to seal in the juices, making the pork more tender.
Step 2
Once the pork is partially cooked, add the dried chili peppers, shredded ginger, shredded green onion, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic and ginger by managing the heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped napa cabbage and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Sautéing the vegetables beforehand deepens the broth’s flavor.
Step 4
Add the cooking wine, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Continue to stir-fry for about 1 minute to allow the ingredients to absorb the flavors. Ensure the sauces don’t burn.
Step 5
Pour in 2.5 cups (about 500ml) of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Using anchovy-kelp broth instead of water will result in an even richer and more refreshing flavor.
Step 6
Once the broth is boiling, stir in the chicken stock or MSG-based seasoning powder. Then, add the ramen noodles, gently separating them to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to your desired doneness. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle a dash of black pepper for enhanced aroma. For a spicier kick, you can add some chopped chili peppers.
Step 9
Carefully ladle the perfectly cooked jjamppong ramen into a deep bowl. The combination of crab and vegetables makes for a visually appealing and hearty dish.
Step 10
Your Nagasaki Jjamppong Ramen, with its spicy and refreshing broth, is now ready! Enjoy this restaurant-quality dish in the comfort of your own home.
