How to make egg roll ramen bowls
Start by prepping all of your veggies. Thinly slice your onion, red bell pepper and scallions.
Heat a skillet over medium high with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add sliced onions and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring regularly. Add 5 cloves of minced garlic and stir with your onions.
Add ground pork to the pan and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up and mixing with the onions.
Meanwhile…
While your pork is busy cooking, you can start boiling water for your noodles and mixing up the sauce!
You’ll use 3 packets of ramen noodles for this recipe. We won’t be using the flavor packet for this recipe, so any flavor package is fine. Cook the ramen for 2 minutes in boiling water, then drain. Toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and set aside.
Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes and ground ginger. In a small separate bowl, mix corn starch with 2 tablespoons of water. Add the corn starch slurry to the rest of the sauce ingredients and whisk to combine.
Back at the skillet…
When the pork is cooked, you can add the sliced bell pepper and bag of cole slaw mix into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the cabbage has softened.
Add cooked ramen and sauce and toss to combine. Cook for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together. Top with sliced green onions and serve.
