A steaming bowl of ramen is the ultimate comfort food, and this version is loaded with colorful vegetables that make it as nourishing as it is satisfying. Tender pork, a rich savory broth, hearty noodles, and plenty of fresh veggies come together in one bowl for a meal that feels both cozy and wholesome. It’s the kind of recipe that’s perfect for busy weeknights but special enough to gather around the table with family and friends. Every bite is packed with flavor, texture, and the simple joy of a home-cooked meal.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Season your pork, I use either boneless pork chops or a small piece of port tenderloin. Bake in a 375 oven for about 20 minutes or until done. (You can also use any leftover pork you may have from another meal).
Step 2: Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat with 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Add carrots and bell pepper and sauté for about 2 minutes.
Step 4: Add the stock, water and soy sauce. Bring to a boil then add the mushrooms and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for about 10 minutes to let flavors meld.

Step 5: Add your ramen noodles (omit the seasoning packet), and bok choi and cook about 5 minutes until noodles are done and book choi is slightly wilted.

Step 3: While your ramen cooks, slice your pork into 1 inch pieces (bite size). Then add to your stock pot to heat through.

Step 4: Serve Immediately in deep bowls. Garnish with sliced green onion.
