Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 packs ramen noodles
- 180 g minced pork
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots, peas)
- 2 tablespoons water
- Green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain the noodles and set them aside to prevent overcooking during stir-fry.
- Sauté Garlic: Heat the oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden, releasing its aroma.
- Cook Minced Pork: Add the minced pork to the pan and cook thoroughly, stirring frequently until it is fully browned and cooked through, breaking up any clumps.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in the curry powder, soy sauce, and fish sauce evenly throughout the pork mixture to infuse the meat with rich, layered flavors.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and cook briefly, about 2–3 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still retain some crispness.
- Toss Noodles: Add the cooked noodles and 2 tablespoons of water to the pan. Toss everything together gently to ensure the noodles are coated with the curry sauce and heated through.
- Final Cooking: Continue to cook the combined mixture for another 2–3 minutes, allowing all flavors to meld and the noodles to absorb the seasoning.
- Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot as a satisfying main course.
Notes
- Fish sauce adds depth of umami flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste or for dietary preferences.
- For extra richness and protein, add a fried egg on top before serving.
- Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand, such as spinach, mushrooms, or bean sprouts, to customize the dish.
