Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 200 g minced pork
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cabbage or bok choy
- 2 tablespoons water
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Boil the ramen noodles according to the package instructions without using the seasoning packets. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside.
- Heat Oil: Place a wok or large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil, heating until shimmering.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the hot oil and sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook Pork: Add the minced pork to the wok and cook, stirring frequently, until the pork is fully browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add Curry Powder: Stir in 1 tablespoon of curry powder, mixing well to coat the pork evenly and to release the spices’ aroma.
- Season Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir everything together to combine the flavors into a saucy mixture.
- Add Vegetables: Toss in the cabbage or bok choy and cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Combine Noodles: Add the cooked noodles back into the wok and toss thoroughly to mix with the pork, spices, and vegetables, ensuring everything is heated through and well combined.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the stir-fried curry noodles to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped green onions. Serve hot for best flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of curry powder to suit your preferred spice level.
- For extra heat, sprinkle in some chili flakes while cooking.
- To make this dish with a different protein, substitute minced pork with minced chicken or tofu for a vegetarian option.
