Sobameshi (Ramen Fried Rice)
Sobameshi is a classic ramen fried rice dish from Kobe, Japan. In my recipe, I combine instant ramen noodles with leftover rice and vegetables to make a satisfying meal in about 15 minutes.

Ingredients
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles (about 100 grams)
- 200 grams cooked short-grain rice
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 100 grams cabbage (chopped into ¼-inch squares)
- 50 grams onion
- 40 grams carrots (chopped into ¼-inch slices)
- 120 grams ground pork
- ⅓ cup water
- scallions (chopped for garnish)
- beni shōga (red pickled ginger)
Instructions
- Put 1 pack instant ramen noodles in a sealable bag and use your fingers to crumble them up into rice-sized pieces.
- Get your hands wet and crumble 200 grams cooked short-grain rice so that each grain is separate.
- To make the sauce, add 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 100 grams cabbage, 50 grams onion, and 40 grams carrots and stir-fry until the cabbage is a vibrant green.
- Add 120 grams ground pork and crumble it up with a spatula (or two).
- When the pork is mostly cooked, add ⅓ cup water and crumbled ramen noodles and cook while stirring until no liquid is left in the pan.
- Add the rice and turn up the heat to high. Stir-fry the mixture until the rice has heated through and it starts to brown.
- Drizzle the Sobameshi sauce over the rice and noodles, and then toss everything together to finish.
- Plate and garnish the ramen fried rice with scallions and beni shōga.
