A riff on the famous TikTok Ramen, these Saucy Pork Ramen Noodles are bulked up with pork and edamame for a more well-rounded meal.
If these Saucy Pork Ramen Noodles look familiar to you, that means you’re probably like me and spend way too much of your free time on TikTok. I wish I could remember where I first saw the noodles, but I remember seeing the TikTok and thinking I had to make them right then and there.
So, I did. What I found was the the sauce, the noodles, the eggs, and seasoning all worked perfectly to make a comforting, easy, and elevated version of the rame noodles we knew and loved. But to me it felt more like a snack and less like a meal. I decided to rework the recipe to include shaved pork and edamame to add a little more protein and vitamins to the dish and made it to feed 2 instead of one. This worked out perfectly and I’m so happy with the result. We’ve been eating it every couple of weeks and I crave it on the regular now.
Saucy Pork Ramen Noodles Ingredients & Subs
ramen noodles — You’re welcome to use the top ramen packets, just discard the seasoning that comes with it!
shaved pork — One of my favorite ways to use pork! It will be with the pork chops and whatnot, but it’s shaved super thin, just like shaved beef!
frozen edamame — You can omit if you like or sub for peas or broccoli.
salt
butter — Feel free to use vegetable oil if you like, but I love the lusciousness of the butter.
garlic
red pepper flakes — You can omit if you don’t like spice. I always leave it out for matt and Norah and then add it to my plate at the end.
brown sugar
soy sauce
eggs
everything bagel spice — Tips on how to make your own below!
green onions
How to make Saucy Pork Ramen Noodles
Cook the ramen according to the package directions and drain.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shaved pork and season with salt. Saute until the pork is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the edamame, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Saute for 1 minute then stir in the brown sugar and soy sauce.
Add the drained noodles to the sauce and toss to coat. Make a hole in the middle of the noodles, turn up the heat, and add the beaten egg to the pan. Scramble until set.
Finish with chopped green onion and everything bagel spice. Serve immediately.
What if I Can’t Find Everything Bagel Spice?
Most grocery stores are hopping on the everything bagel spice trend, but if you’re having trouble finding it, it’s super easy to make your own!
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional, you could do all white (1.5 tbsp) but most store-bought EB spice blends use both)
1 tbsp poppy seeds
1 tbsp minced dried garlic
1 tbsp minced dried onion
1 teaspoon flaky salt
Mix together and store in a jar in a cool dry place for up to six months.
What can I do with my jar of Everything Bagel Seasoning?
- Make savory granola for salad topping
- DIY bagel chips
- Deviled egg topper (or any kind of egg topper, tbh)
- Make Cheesy Everything Dogs in a Blanket
- Avocado toast, duh
- Make my Keto Smoked Salmon Everything Quiche
- Popcorn sprinkle
- Try it in this Slow Cooker Fiesta Ranch Snack Mix
