Ingredients
- 150g dried ramen noodles
- 5 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 spring onions , finely sliced
- 3 garlic cloves , finely chopped
- 1 red pepper , deseeded and sliced
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 1-2 tbsp massaman curry paste
- 400ml can coconut milk
- 300g pork mince
- 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- chilli oil
- lime wedges
Method
Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain well and rinse with cold water to prevent them from sticking. Divide the noodles between two bowls.
Drizzle 2 tbsp sesame oil into a saucepan over a medium heat. Mix in half of the spring onions and all the garlic. After 2-3 mins, add the red pepper and cook for an additional 5 mins. Once the veg has softened slightly, add 2 tbsp soy sauce and the massaman paste (start with 1 tbsp and adjust to taste). Cook for 2 mins, then pour in the coconut milk and simmer for 10 mins.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the pork mince. Break the mince up to ensure even browning and after 3-4 mins, once most of the liquid has evaporated, stir in the five-spice powder and remaining soy sauce. Fry for 8-10 mins until it begins to brown and go slightly crispy.
Add a generous ladle of the ramen broth to the noodle bowls and top with the crispy pork and remaining spring onions. Serve with chilli oil and lime wedges.
