A quick and easy meal that’s big on flavor is every cook’s goal. One that can please the whole family, and is a constant favorite is the dream.

Lately, my dinner preparations have taken a hit because I’ve been insanely busy with my cookbook that I’ve been working on, so there’s been an even bigger emphasis on easy dinners.

Ramen noodles are synonymous with quick, easy meals. But I’m not particularly fond of using those flavoring/seasoning packets that they come with. This is where Marinated Fresh Pork comes into the picture! Mr K loves the ramen and pork combination, and this Easy Pork Ramen  is one of my go-to meals when I’m short on time and it NEVER disappoints.

Easy Pork Ramen - Marinated meat makes the meal easier to put together

We don’t have marinated pork available where we live

But if you don’t have marinated pork available where you live, don’t worry! You can still make this incredible ramen for your family.

I’ve included a simple and easy spice mix you can use to marinade a plain pork loin too.

Since pork loin cooks quickly (30 – 40 minutes, depending on the weight of the pork loin). So you can simply cook your noodles with your favorite broth and vegetables, and you have one flavor-packed meal ready to be served by the time the pork is cooked in the oven.

Easy Pork Ramen - All the delicious ingredients in the Ramen!

MORE TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE EASY PORK RAMEN

  • First tips is to use a simple, marinaded pork loin. But of course if you don’t have access to that, you can marinade your own with a simple spice mix that’s big on flavor!
  • Second, to make this dish even more scrumptious and easy – start with store-bought broth and then up the ante with lots of flavor. I use organic, salt reduced broth and add garlic, ginger, pepper, chili flakes and soy sauce, and since the mushrooms are also cooked in the broth here, they also add a delightful umami flavor to it. No one will guess that it’s all been cooked in under 30 minutes!

  • Cook the vegetables IN the broth to make this easy for you! The greens are also cooked in the broth, along with mushrooms here. I just place the greens in the hot broth for just a few minutes, and not any longer because I want my greens to stay wonderfully crunchy.
  • I used shiitake mushrooms for this easy pork ramen bowl, because that’s my favorite, but I have also added some enoki mushrooms. But you can use any kind you like, of course. You can even use dried shiitake mushroom, which is easier to find.
  • Cook all the vegetables at the end IN the broth, you don’t have to worry about using separate pans either.

However, the one thing I do cook separately is the eggs. While the egg is optional, I do like serving eggs with my easy pork ramen – mostly for that golden, runny egg yolk! That yolk adds a wonderful richness and texture to the broth that we both love. The good news is YOU CAN MAKE THE EGGS AHEAD OF TIME (upto 4- 5 days ahead of time), and you can make it extra special too.

Just check out how to make simple, easy, and extra jammy Ramen Eggs here.

This is unlike any ramen you had in your college days, I guarantee it! 🙂 It’s an upgraded version that’s packed with zesty flavor, better than anything you could make with those seasoning packets. And it’s better for your family too. I always have a few different flavors of Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork in my freezer, precisely for meals like this. With 6 flavors to choose from, there’s quite a bit of variety you can add to your meals.

And the great thing about this easy pork ramen bowl was that we had plenty of pork leftovers for the next day too. I love thinly slicing the leftover pork and making sandwiches with it, or adding it to rice and making a quick fried rice for lunch or dinner.

Between writing, baking and photographing dozens and dozens of cakes for the cookbook, I haven’t had time to plan elaborate meals, but I need not have worried. This easy pork ramen bowl is an absolute home run!

Easy Pork Ramen

Total Time 45 minutes
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Print Rate

Ingredients:

Pork

  • 1 package of Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Tenderloin about 1.5 - 2 lbs; there will be leftovers

Spice mix, if you use pork loin without a marinade.

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper please use less, if you don't like spicy food

Ramen Noodles

  • 2 packets of dried ramen noodles (plain noodles, without spice packets)
  • 4 cups of beef or chicken broth reduced salt
  • 1 - 2 slices of ginger
  • 2 - 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 spring onions cut into large sections
  • ½ tbsp chili flakes crushed red pepper (please be mindful about adjusting spice level to your preference, this was fairly mild for us)
  • 1 ½ tsp black peppercorns either whole or grind them in a spice mill
  • 1 - 2 tbsp soy sauce add to your taste
  • 115 g / 4 oz of shiitakes mushrooms sliced (or about 10 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in warm water and sliced)
  • 2 - 4 stalks of Chinese greens like baby bok choy or yu choy
  • Enoki mushrooms optional
  • Extra chopped spring onions to garnish

Half Boiled Eggs

  • 2 eggs
US Customary - Metric

Instructions:

Pork

  • If you don't have access to Smithfield, you can marinade the pork yourself. 
    Sprinkle the pork loin with salt and pepper generously. Mix the minced garlic with 3 tbsp oil to form a paste and rub it all over the pork tenderloin. Cover and marinade for at least 1 hour - overnight (in the fridge)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.
  • When the oven is preheated, roast the pork tenderloin according to package instructions. (I cooked until the internal temperature registered at 160°F with a meat thermometer - which took about 30 minutes for the 1.8 lb piece of tenderloin).
  • Once it’s cooked, remove from the oven, cover and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Eggs

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil (with enough water to completely cover the eggs).
  • Add some salt or vinegar to the water. Lower the eggs into the water gently. To prevent the eggs from cracking, remove the pan from the heat, and lower the eggs when there is no bubbling. Once the eggs are in the pot, return it back to the stove.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, and let the eggs cook for exactly 6 minutes (set a timer).
  • When the 6 minutes are up, remove the eggs and place them in a bowl with iced water OR under cold running water for a few minutes.
  • Crack and remove the egg shell carefully. Keep the eggs covered until you are ready to serve.

Ramen Noodles

  • Place all the ingredients except for the ramen noodles, mushrooms, Asian greens and chopped spring onions, in a pot.
  • Bring the stock to a boil over medium high heat. Cover and let it simmer on medium - medium low heat for about 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Once the pork is cooked and ready to be sliced, you can remove the garlic cloves, ginger and spring onions from the broth if you want (we like to eat it all). Add the greens and blanch quickly for 1-2 minutes in the simmering water. Remove the greens and set aside.
  • Add the ramen noodles, and sliced shiitake mushrooms and let it simmer for 3 - 5 minutes until the noodles are done.

Assembly

  • Slice the pork tenderloin into thin slices.
  • Divide the ramen noodles and broth into two bowls.
  • Add the enoki mushrooms and blanched greens over the hot broth, followed by the pork slices, soft boiled egg, cut in half and the chopped spring onions. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

Notes -
  • There is enough Pork for four servings. 
  • However, the ramen broth recipe serves 2 generously. Double the amount of stock, spices and ramen to make it for four.

    Hi! Quick question: I didn’t understand if the pork has to cook twice (oven+broth) or if you only cook it in the oven and then slice it and put it in the broth at the end… Can’t wait to do this recipe! 🙂

    What brand of Ramen noodles do you use?

      Hi Cathy
      If I want fresh ramen noodles, I usually buy it from the asian supermarket. Depending on what they have available.
      However I do keep instant ramen noodles at home, and use just the noodles to make homemade ramen instead. The brand I like is either Samyang ramen packets (not cups), or Nongshim Shin ramyun packets (not cups). These noodles are thicker, so they don’t become soggy too quickly.
      I hope that helps!

          Hi Cathy!
          I don’t use the spice packet that comes with the packet when I make my own ramen. If you’re following this particular recipe, I don’t use the flavor packets from the ramen at all – JUST the ramen that will be cooked in the broth.
          I hope that helps

    I found this recipe by Googling “recipes that use leftover pulled pork”. We made this tonight with a few variations and LOVED it! So flavorful. My husband even liked it and he is super picky!

      Hi Joanna
      If you want to, you can add leftover pulled pork to your ramen. However, the flavor profile will change depending on the spices and flavors added to the pulled pork. (BBQ pulled pork in an asian spiced broth, will make the broth taste more like BBQ).
      If that’s ok with you, you can add it to your ramen 🙂

        I made this last night for my ramen loving husband. I used leftover BBQ pork ribs and shredded the meat off–huge success. Will used less peppercorns–they were too spicy for my 3 year old! 🙂 I love your idea of trying fresh ramen noodles–will look for those in our neighborhood!

    This was a really good recipe, even with leaving some stuff out!
    I forgot to get ginger so I didnt put that, and my husband and I don’t care for mushrooms so I intentionally omitted those. The broth was so simple and tasty albeit a little spicy. Definitely going to make again, and I won’t forget the ginger, but will perhaps halve the chili pepper amount. Great tasty weeknight dinner!!

    I followed the recipe pretty closely, but added some Chinese Five Spice Powder to give the broth more flavor. I cut the garlic and ginger into short matchsticks and just left them in the broth. Excellent recipe! Thanks for sharing this one, I’ll be making it regularly.

You’ve got so many amazing flavors going on in there. This one definitely needs to show up on our dinner table soon…thanks for sharing! #client
