Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds pork shoulder roast or butt
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth plus more if needed
  • 1/4-1/2 cup + 2-4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup + 2-4 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons fish sauce optional
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha optional
  • The juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 cups mushrooms optional and you can decide which type of mushroom you want, sliced
  • 3- 4 packs Ramen noodles seasoning packets discarded
  • Serve with boiled egg green onions, julienned carrots, cilantro, and whatever else you desire

Instructions

  • In your slow cooker you will place in your pork, chicken broth, 1/4-1/2 cup of soy sauce depending on taste. You will find more soy sauce adds a saltier flavor.
  • Add in 1/4 cup rice vinegar, fish sauce, red Thai curry paste, ginger, lime juice, Chinese Five Spice, Sriracha, pepper, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
  • Cool on low for 7-8 hours or high 4-6 hours.
  • Once pork is done, remove your pork and shred the meat. In the liquid add in mushrooms to slow cooker, and adjust heat to high if you didn't already have it. If you feel you are low on broth, just add more.
  • In a skillet you will add a bit of your pulled pork, do a thinner layer. Add sesame oil, and heat medium heat. Add your pork and sprinkle on a little brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar. Toss and cook until the pork carmelizes, then remove the batch and repeat.
  • You will now toss your ramen noodles into the slow cooker, just do noodles, discard the packets. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
  • Now you will assemble your slow cooker pork ramen bowls once all your pork is cooked and noodles are done.
  • Add 1/2 the pork back into the slow cooker and mix. Then ladle up your ramen into bowls. Top with more meat, soft boiled eggs, drizzle of Sriracha or whatver you want!

Notes

Feel free to add whatever toppings you want to your homemade ramens.
Carmelizing the pork adds tons of flavor that you don't want to miss out on.
If you want added spice add in some fresh sliced jalapenos or red pepper flakes.
