Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, but recommended)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  3. Step 3

    Add onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Add sliced cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp. Don't overcook, you want a little bite!

  5. Step 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chicken broth.

  6. Step 6

    Add the cooked noodles and the sauce to the skillet with the pork and cabbage. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips

  • Instead of ramen, you can use lo mein noodles or even spaghetti in a pinch.
  • Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic to your preference.
  • Add a splash of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
