Are you craving a flavorful and spicy Korean dish that you can make at home? Homemade Korean-style Spicy Pork Noodles, known as Jeyuk Bokkeum Ramyeon, is the perfect choice. This dish combines tender pork, spicy gochujang sauce, and chewy noodles for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients Needed
- 200g pork belly or shoulder, thinly sliced
- 2 packs of instant ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Start by preparing the sauce. In a small bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, sugar, and a little water. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add sliced onions and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften.
Pour the prepared sauce over the pork and vegetables. Mix well to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the pork and sauce. Toss everything together until noodles are well coated and heated through.
Serving Suggestions
Transfer the spicy pork noodles to serving bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot for the best flavor experience.
This dish pairs well with a side of kimchi or pickled vegetables. It’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a flavorful weekend treat.
Tips for Success
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less gochujang.
- Use thinly sliced pork for quick cooking and tender texture.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or bok choy for variety.
- Make extra sauce to use as a flavorful topping for rice or other dishes.
