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 easy pork stir-fry with noodles is perfect 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 easy 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

The sauce makes this Pork Ramen Stir Fry so good and is easy to prepare.

  • Cornstarch: Thickens the sauce.
  • Soy Sauce: Use reduced or low-sodium to control saltiness. You can always add salt later.
  • Chicken Broth: Water works in a pinch, but chicken broth adds more flavor.
  • Sesame Oil: Toasted sesame oil is even better! Look for it with Asian ingredients.
  • Brown Sugar: Balances flavors. Light or dark brown sugar works. Honey can be used, but reduce the amount slightly.
  • Sriracha Sauce: Adds heat and flavor. Adjust to taste or omit if you prefer less heat.

The noodles being boiled and the pork being browned and cooked through then ginger, garlic, and green onions being added.

Pork Ramen Stir Fry Shortcuts

  • Use Frozen Veggies: Edamame and corn need no prep beforehand which makes this dish come together even quicker!
  • Buy Pre-Chopped: Get pre-chopped green onions, garlic paste, and minced garlic and you’ll have no chopping at all!
  • Prep Sauce Ahead: Make the sauce in advance and keep it in the fridge for quick dinner assembly.

  • Cucumber Salad: Crisp cucumbers and creamy avocado with a light dressing.
  • Dumplings: Pork, chicken, or veggie dumplings make a fun side.

Storage

Storing Pork Ramen Stir Fry

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    This was excellent! I’m saving it to make again.
    I thin sliced a prok chop to stir fry and used broccoli for the veggie. Mushrooms would would also be a nice addition. The sauce makes all the difference – and it was delicious.

      I am so thrilled to hear this! Thanks so much Debbie!

  2. Robyn says:

    Hey Chelsea I was just curious, you say the individual serving is 705 calories, but the recipe makes 2-4 servings. Is that calorie number based on 2 individual or 4 individual servings? Thanks

    1. Chelsea says:

      Hey Robyn, the calorie count is based on two individual servings, so each serving would be 705 calories. Hope this helps!

    This was very easy to make and so tasty. Next time I will double the sauce as we like things saucierโ€” I recreated just the sauce the next night for our leftovers and it was perfect. We loved it with some sweet chili sauce on top, which created a nice counterbalance to the sriracha. Thanks so much!
