Easy Pork Ramen
Description
This recipe starts by marinating pork tenderloin in a mixture of minced garlic, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and vegetable oil to infuse robust flavor. The pork is then oven-roasted until cooked through and rested before slicing. Ramen noodles are cooked separately while a broth is prepared by simmering chicken stock with ginger slices, sliced garlic, spring onions, chili flakes, black peppercorns, shiitake mushrooms, and bok choy to build a deeply flavored base.
Half-boiled eggs are cooked to retain a slightly runny yolk and marinated to add richness typical of ramen toppings. The final dish is assembled by placing cooked noodles in bowls, ladling hot broth, topping with sliced pork, mushrooms, bok choy, eggs, and garnishing with chopped spring onions. The spiced broth, combined with tender pork and fresh vegetables, creates a balanced and comforting meal suitable for a satisfying lunch or dinner.
Careful control of spice levels and cooking times ensures tender pork and perfectly cooked eggs. Adjust chili flakes to taste for preferred heat. Resting the pork after roasting helps retain its juices for better texture when sliced.

Instructions
Pork
- Mix all the ingredients in the spice mix.
- Spread the spice mix all over the tenderloin. Cover and marinade for at least 1 hour, upto overnight (in the fridge)
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.
- When the oven is preheated, roast the pork tenderloin until the pork has an internal temperature registered at 160°F with a meat thermometer. This can take between 20 - 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the tenderloin piece.
- Once it’s cooked, remove from the oven, cover and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Eggs
- Follow the recipe instructions for ramen eggs, to make ramen eggs for this recipe. The eggs require at least 2 hours or upto overnight marinating.
- To make hard boiled eggs (with runny yolks) - Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium high heat (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 gently. Once the eggs are in the pot, return it back to the stove.
- Cover with a lid and allow the water to come to boil. Set the timer to cook the eggs for exactly 6 minutes (set a timer). Reduce the heat to a simmer.
- 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 and broth (make this while the pork is cooking)
- 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, jammy egg, cut in half and the chopped spring onions. Enjoy!
