The weather is really gloomy and it has been raining endlessly. And a perfect way to handle this kind of weather is to cosy up on the couch and have a big bowl of this Pork Ramen.

To Make The Ramen Noodles Broth
Unlike authentic ramen recipe, the broth doesn't take hours to make, but the broth base has enough aromatics to give it the real depth of flavour.
For making the broth, use a good quality low sodium chicken stock. I make mine at home, so I have control over the flavour and amount of salt.
Sauteing ginger and garlic in oil releases the flavour to the oil. Other ingredients like fish sauce, soy sauce and miso brings that umami flavour in the broth.

Most of the ramen recipes use pork shoulder or pork belly, which usually need a longer cooking time. I really liked the idea of using spicy minced pork in the soup. it is super quick to make and add texture to the soup.
What kind of noodles to use in Pork Ramen?
Instant ramen noodles are always the best because it gets cooked in almost no time. My daughter also loves ramen and she happily eats anything made with it.
You can also use fresh yakisoba noodles if available. If using fresh noodles, I would suggest cooking the noodles separately. Fresh noodles are tossed in lots of starch to prevent sticking. So if cooked along with the broth, all the starch gets into the broth, making it starchy and thick.

- Chilli garlic sauce is a very common condiment in Asian cusine. It varies in spice level, so adjust the quantity as per taste. If you don't have Chilli garlic paste, you can add any hot sauce like Sriracha and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder to the sauce mixture.
