Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 4 cups cooked noodles
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables. Julienne the carrot, mince garlic and ginger, and cut broccoli into small florets.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and break it into small crumbles using a wooden spoon.
- Cook the ground pork for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it's completely browned and no pink remains.
- Add minced garlic and ginger to the pork. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour soy sauce and sriracha into the skillet. Stir to coat the pork evenly with the sauce, creating a spicy and savory base.
- Add broccoli florets and julienned carrots to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add pre-cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring noodles are well-coated with the spicy pork mixture.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat noodles thoroughly and allow flavors to meld together.
- Transfer the noodle bowl to serving plates. Garnish generously with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
- Serve hot and enjoy the spicy, flavorful pork noodle bowl immediately.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop all your vegetables and mince the garlic and ginger before you start cooking. This way, you can focus on the cooking process without interruptions.
- Control the Heat: Adjust the amount of sriracha to suit your spice tolerance. Start with less if you're unsure, as you can always add more later for an extra kick.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and ginger can significantly enhance the flavor of your dish. Opt for fresh produce rather than pre-minced options for the best taste.
- Don’t Overcook the Vegetables: Keep your broccoli and carrots tender-crisp for a delightful texture contrast in your noodle bowl. They should be vibrant and slightly crunchy.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the sesame seeds and green onions! They add a lovely crunch and fresh flavor that elevate the entire dish.
- Leftovers?: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to revive the flavors.
