How To Make Spicy Miso Ramen

1. Cook the meat: Heat a Dutch oven or large pot to medium high and add the sesame oil. Add the ground pork and soy sauce and cook until the meat browns on all sides. Set aside for later.

2. Cook the veggies: Add the shallots, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, and black miso paste to the pot. Cook until fragrant. Add the broth to the same pot and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring until everything’s mixed.

3. Cook the noodles: Bring the ramen broth to a boil and add the noodles. Cook for a couple more minutes until tender.

4. Serve: Add the broth and noodles in two bowls, add the ground pork and toppings like a soft boiled egg, and enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Try using brown rice noodles instead of ramen noodles.
• Use fresh ramen noodles for a different flavor.
• Substitute the ground pork for ground chicken, ground turkey, or even ground beef. 
• Substitute the black miso paste for red miso, white miso, Asian sesame paste, or chili bean paste in its place. 
• Add a soft boiled egg, bean sprouts, and baby bok choy for a healthier meal.
• Serve with freshly grated ginger on top.

How To Store Cooked Ramen

In the fridge: Store your leftover ramen in an airtight container, and it'll last in the fridge for about 2 days.

In the freezer: Transfer the cooked ramen to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheating: Add everything back to a large pot and heat it on your stovetop over medium heat, stirring everything frequently until it reaches your desired temperature.
