Pork Ramen Stir Fry

I created this recipe when I went to make my kids’ favorite Udon Stir Fry but found I was out of ground turkey and udon noodles. With some ground pork in the fridge and ramen in the pantry, I created this Pork Ramen Stir Fry instead.

At first, the kids were a bit disappointed we weren’t having udon noodles, but after one bite of this ramen, they quickly changed their minds!

This straightforward pork stir-fry with noodles is reliable for a simple weeknight meal—picky-eater, kid, and adult approved!

All the ingredients including brown sugar, pork, noodles, ginger, cornstarch, edamame, onion, broth, corn, and garlic all prepped out for straightforward assembly.

Pork Ramen Stir Fry Ingredients

  • Ground Pork: Can use ground turkey or beef instead.
  • Green Onions: Adds a fresh, mild onion flavor.
  • Garlic & Ginger: Pre-minced or paste is a great shortcut here! Or try Dorot’s® garlic and ginger cubes.
  • Frozen Veggies: Edamame and corn can be thrown in straight from the freezer!
  • Ramen Noodles: Throw away the seasoning packets or save for a different recipe. Or, use chow mein noodles if needed.

Sauce

  • Cornstarch: Thickens the sauce.

  • Sriracha Sauce: Adds heat and flavor. Adjust to taste or omit if you prefer less heat.
