Instructions
Gather Ingredients
Mix Sake & Miso
In a small bowl, mix sake and miso together thoroughly and set aside.
Make Shiraga-Negi
To julienne the negi or leek, cut into 3-inch pieces and make an incision lengthwise. Remove the core, flatten and stack the rectangular pieces and slice very thin. Leave them to soak in cold water.
Stir-Fry
Heat wok on medium high and add sesame oil. Add minced garlic and fry for 30 seconds. Add chopped shallots and ground pork and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add shiitake and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in miso and sake mixture and continue cooking until the liquid is nearly evaporated.
Cook Noodles
Boil 4 cups of water in a medium pot and add 2 packages of Maruchan GOLD Spicy Miso Ramen. Cook for 3 minutes, allowing noodles to soften slightly before gently spreading them apart. Remove from heat.
Prepare Soup Base
Place contents of soup base and 1 teaspoon of tahini in each serving bowl and mix together. Add broth from noodles to each bowl and stir.
Top Bowls & Serve
Divide ramen into soup bowls. Top with cooked pork and garnish with shiraga-negi. Sprinkle shichimi pepper for extra heat.
