Quick 15-minute Japanese curry ramen with rich creamy broth, pork and spinach toppings
A fast Japanese curry ramen recipe featuring a rich, creamy curry broth made with instant curry cubes, topped with quick stir-fried pork and spinach. Ready in just 15 minutes from start to finish.
Heat chicken stock in a pot until bubbling. Add 8 Japanese curry cubes to 1 liter of stock (about 150g of cubes). Stir until dissolved and the broth becomes thick and creamy. Add soy sauce and mirin to taste for extra flavor.
Heat a wok with a little oil and add minced pork. Stir-fry until almost cooked through. Add doubanjiang chili paste and soy sauce. The soy sauce will caramelize everything. Add baby spinach or other greens and toss until just wilted.
Bring water to a boil and add frozen ramen noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes until done. Drain and add to your serving bowl. Alternatively, use dried instant ramen or dried ramen noodles.
Ladle the hot curry broth over the noodles. Top with the cooked pork and spinach mixture. Garnish with spring onions and Japanese ginger pickle.
