👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Prepare the seasoned pork: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and break it up with a spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 2
Make the broth base: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini (sesame paste), chili oil, and soy sauce until smooth. In a separate saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and stir in the tahini mixture until well combined and the broth is creamy. Keep warm over very low heat.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Cook the noodles and greens: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente (usually 2-4 minutes for fresh noodles). In the last minute of cooking, add the bok choy heads (halved or quartered lengthwise) to the boiling water to blanch them until tender-crisp. Drain the noodles and bok choy thoroughly.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked ramen noodles between two deep serving bowls. Ladle the warm, creamy broth over the noodles. Top generously with the seasoned ground pork. Garnish with blanched bok choy and any optional toppings like sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, or an extra drizzle of chili oil.

- ✓For an extra creamy broth, you can add a splash of milk or unsweetened soy milk towards the end of simmering.
- ✓Adjust the amount of chili oil and chili flakes to achieve your desired level of heat. Start with less and add more if needed.
- ✓Ensure your tahini is well-stirred before measuring, as the oil can separate.
