Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Place scallion greens in a small bowl; reserve for serving. Peel and grate ginger. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add pork* and scallion whites; season with 2 tsp soy sauce (you’ll use more in the next step), 1⁄4 tsp sugar, and pepper (4 tsp soy sauce and 1⁄2 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer pork mixture to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm until ready to serve. (You’ll use the pot in the next step!)
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pot used for pork (no need to wipe out!) over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic powder; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and ginger begins to brown slightly, 15-20 seconds. • Add 31⁄2 cups water, chicken stock concentrates, ramen stock concentrates, and 2 tsp soy sauce (7 cups water and 4 tsp soy sauce for 4 servings) to pot. Stir to combine, then cover and bring to a boil. (Save remaining soy sauce for another use.) • Once broth is boiling, reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until broth is fragrant and flavors combine, 8-10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, once pot of water is boiling, add noodles; cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 1-2 minutes. • Drain, then rinse noodles under cold water, 30 seconds. Toss with a drizzle of oil. Set aside.
• In a second small bowl, stir together hoisin sauce and 1 tsp water (2 tsp for 4 servings).
• Serve broth, noodles, shredded carrots, bok choy and napa cabbage, pork, scallion greens, Sriracha, and hoisin sauce family style and let everyone build their own ramen bowls! TIP: For softer veggies, microwave assembled bowl 60-90 seconds, then garnish as desired.
Ground Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
I've had this delicious ramen before, but somehow it was more enjoyable as a bar style meal. It allows people that like things more spicy to add that to their dish, while leaving it out for everyone who doesn't like hot sauce. I loved being able to have more veggies in my own dish while my husband wanted more noodles. It also helped me realize I don't like to add too much of certain sauces to the broth. All around delicious and fun.
We LOVE this idea of a "Pork Ramen Bar"- ie salad bar.... I had everything and it was all soooooo cohesive and delicious! My husband is less loving of stronger "spices" so he left some things out. He still liked it though. Having it this way gives him that option.
We loved that we could fix up our ramen as we each wanted! My daughter being a picky eater particularly appreciated this! The only thing I wish was different was that the pork had been maybe cooked in the hoison sauce or something to give the pork a bit more flavor but the soup itself was wonderful.
I made this with chicken instead of the pork and it was delicious. Tasted just as good as a ramen restaurant. I also added some cilantro and siracha to spice it up a tad. I think next time I'll add a soft boiled egg and maybe some corn.
This was so fun to try for something different. We are huge ramen fans in our house and while the broth was not as rich as home made it was still very tasty. Only took like 30 minutes to make. Home made broth is like 6 hours so I can't complain. Very yummy I hope this one stays around
Prep was easy, but I like the other Ramen options much better. This one has cold and hot stuff you mix together and I don't care for that! We made it work and it was okay.
My family loves ramen! The broth was delicious and love that each person could customize their own. Very good!
Huge hit! The broth was so rich and delicious and it was really nice to have everyone build their own bowl. Very good flavors and it was so easy to put together.
I really love this recipe. I added a 1/4 cup dehydrated button mushrooms to broth. Next time I will also let the carrots boil in broth for the 8 mins. While keeping the bok choy/Napa cabbage raw & fresh. I ordered the dumpling/spring roll combo for the market. Topped of an Excellent meal.
This meal was sooo good! A hit in my family with picky eaters. Loaded with flavor! And it was fun to have kids make their own bowl.
