Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces ramen noodles
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste adjust to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 soft-boiled egg optional
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the soy sauce, tahini, and chili paste to the pot, mixing well to combine.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in the sesame oil, chopped green onions, and baby spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
  7. Divide the cooked ramen noodles into bowls and ladle the spicy broth and pork mixture over the top.
  8. If desired, top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
