Spicy Pulled Pork Ramen

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

This bowl came from one of those very good leftover experiments that instantly felt worth repeating. We already had a miso pulled pork ramen we loved, but I kept thinking about what would happen if we pushed it into something deeper, spicier, and a little messier in the best way. So this version came together with all the easy flavor shortcuts I never get tired of: canned kimchi, gochujang, and that spoonful of Lao Gan Ma chili oil that makes the whole kitchen smell amazing the second it hits the pan.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 bowls 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the broth:

  • 2 tbsp Lao Gan Ma chili oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 scallions, greens and whites separated and sliced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 200 g (1 can) kimchi, chopped
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 200 ml unsalted beef fond + 300 ml water (or use a stock cube + water)

For the noodles & toppings:

  • 2 packs Chinese egg noodles
  • Leftover pulled pork, generous amount
  • Scallion greens, sliced
  • 2 eggs, soft-boiled for 6 minutes
  • 2 leaves bok choy
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • Black sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Chili oil, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the chili oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the scallion whites, garlic, and ginger for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the chopped kimchi and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the gochujang, light soy sauce, beef fond, and water, then bring to a boil.
  • Remove the broth from the heat once boiling.
  • Soft-boil the eggs for 6 minutes. Cook the noodles according to package instructions and blanch the bok choy in the last minute. Strain everything, cool the eggs, then peel and halve them.
  • Divide the broth and noodles between 2 bowls. Top with pulled pork, scallion greens, bean sprouts, black sesame seeds, egg halves, and chili oil.
