Pork Ramen Stir Fry
I created this recipe when I went to make my kids’ favorite Udon Stir Fry but found I was out of ground turkey and udon noodles. With some ground pork in the fridge and ramen in the pantry, I created this Pork Ramen Stir Fry instead.
At first, the kids were a bit disappointed we weren’t having udon noodles, but after one bite of this ramen, they quickly changed their minds!
This easy pork stir-fry with noodles is perfect for a simple weeknight meal—picky-eater, kid, and adult approved!
Pork Ramen Stir Fry Ingredients
Ground Pork: Can use ground turkey or beef instead.
Green Onions: Adds a fresh, mild onion flavor.
Garlic & Ginger: Pre-minced or paste is a great shortcut here! Or try Dorot’s® garlic and ginger cubes.
Frozen Veggies: Edamame and corn can be thrown in straight from the freezer!
Ramen Noodles: Throw away the seasoning packets or save for a different recipe. Or, use chow mein noodles if needed.
Sauce
The sauce makes this Pork Ramen Stir Fry so good and is easy to prepare.
Cornstarch: Thickens the sauce.
Soy Sauce: Use reduced or low-sodium to control saltiness. You can always add salt later.
Chicken Broth: Water works in a pinch, but chicken broth adds more flavor.
Sesame Oil: Toasted sesame oil is even better! Look for it with Asian ingredients.
Brown Sugar: Balances flavors. Light or dark brown sugar works. Honey can be used, but reduce the amount slightly.
Sriracha Sauce: Adds heat and flavor. Adjust to taste or omit if you prefer less heat.
Pork Ramen Stir Fry Shortcuts
Use Frozen Veggies: Edamame and corn need no prep beforehand which makes this dish come together even quicker!
Buy Pre-Chopped: Get pre-chopped green onions, garlic paste, and minced garlic and you’ll have no chopping at all!
Prep Sauce Ahead: Make the sauce in advance and keep it in the fridge for quick dinner assembly.
Side Dishes to Serve with Pork Ramen Stir Fry
Egg Rolls or Spring Rolls: For a crunchy side.
Asian Slaw: A mix of cabbage, carrots, and a tangy dressing.
Cucumber Salad: Crisp cucumbers and creamy avocado with a light dressing.
Dumplings: Pork, chicken, or veggie dumplings make a fun side.
STORAGE
Storing Pork Ramen Stir Fry
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
