Main Ingredients- 1 packet Ramen noodles
- 100g Pork neck (sliced thinly)
- 500ml Water
- 1 stalk Green onion
- 1 Onion
- Vegetable oil, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the ingredients. Peel the onion, wash it thoroughly under running water, and then thinly slice it lengthwise into about 0.5cm thick strips. Wash the green onion well, both the white and green parts, and slice it diagonally into 2-3cm lengths. Prepping the ingredients like this will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Heat a wok or frying pan over medium heat, then add a generous amount of vegetable oil. Once the oil is warm, add the sliced onion and diagonally cut green onion. Sauté them until the onions become translucent and release their sweet aroma. This step is crucial for building the base flavor.
Step 3
While stir-frying the onions and green onions, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Continue to stir-fry for about 30 seconds more, allowing the garlic aroma to meld beautifully with the vegetables. This will significantly deepen the overall flavor profile.
Step 4
Now, increase the heat slightly to medium-high and continue to stir-fry for about 2 minutes. During this process, the sweetness of the onions and the fragrance of the garlic will intensify, and the vegetables will slightly caramelize, adding depth to the broth.
Step 5
Add the 100g of pork neck slices to the sautéed vegetables. Using thinly sliced pork neck will speed up the cooking time. Stir-fry until the pork neck is no longer pink on the outside, about 2-3 minutes. The juices released from the pork will combine with the vegetables, creating an even richer flavor.
Step 6
Once the pork neck is mostly cooked, carefully pour in 500ml of water to create the broth. Be cautious of splattering hot water as you pour it in.
Step 7
For a deeper, spicier broth, add 1 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean chili powder). If you prefer more heat, feel free to adjust the amount to your liking. Stir well to dissolve the chili powder.
Step 8
Bring the broth to a rolling boil, then add the ramen noodles and the ramen soup base. Stir to separate the noodles and cook according to the package instructions or until they reach your desired level of doneness. You can also add an egg or other vegetables at this stage if you like.
Step 9
Once the noodles are cooked to your preference, turn off the heat and transfer the ramen to a serving bowl. Your delicious Pork Neck and Onion Ramen, steaming hot, is now ready! Enjoy a hearty and satisfying meal with the rich broth and generous toppings.
