Braised Ramen

Used the simplest ingredients and fastest time to prepare this. I prepared the sauce in advance and braised the noodle only after I got the kids back from school. This way the noodle will not be soggy while waiting for them to come home.

You can add more ingredients like prawns and fish cakes. I did not because my girls do not like those ... 

Ingredient

Main

100gm ramen (or more). set aside (Do not soak)

150 gm lean pork

Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp corn flour

Sauce

4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

Some vegetable (I used siao bai cai 小白菜)

250ml chicken broth

750ml water

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp dark soya sauce

3 tsp corn flour dissolve in 5 tsp water

Method

1) Sliced pork thinly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Also add in corn flour. Mix well and set aside for at least 10minute. Longer if time permits.

2) Boil 750ml water in a pot.

3) While waiting for water to be boiled, heat oil in pan. Then stir-fry the garlics until lightly brown.

4) Add pork to pan, stir-fry until 80% cooked. At this point, you can add in your other preferred ingredients such as prawns or fish cakes.

5) Then add chicken broth, oyster sauce and dark soy sauce. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

6) When pot of water is bubbling, add the chicken broth together with its content into the pot. Stir to mix well.

7) Then add in the corn flour solution and stir to mix well. Let it boil for another 5 minutes. Turn off heat and cover the pot. Set aside.

Pot of sauce ready to be used. It is watery at this point. It will be thicken after braising it with noodle because of the added corn flour solution.

8) When ready to serve, pour enough sauce to pan. Keep in mind that the sauce would thicken up and also some would evaporate. Heat till bubbling.

9) Add in ramen (or yee mian 伊面). Cover the pan and simmer the noodle until your preferred texture. I cover the pan so that the liquid does not dry up too fast.

10) Add in vegetable last. When done, dish out and serve immediately.
