WHAT DOES THE BEST GARLIC NOODLE SOUP WITH SPICY GROUND PORK TASTE LIKE?
To explain, the noodle soup provides a savory garlic broth with spinach, carrots and mushrooms that pairs perfectly with the spicy, pungent and nutty flavors from the ground pork. With the addition of bok choy and a marinated jammy egg, this bowl is an instant hit!
To explain, if you've ever had ramen before, this at-home version holds similar flavors and texture. Spicy ground pork is slightly marinated in a spicy nutty sauce that cooks and thickens as the ground pork cooks. Undoubtedly, the soy marinated jammy egg is delicious. The noodles hold flavor that is deep with garlic and cooked in a flavorful broth. In short, if you have a few moments to spare do not omit the soy marinated jammy egg!
I DON'T EAT PORK. WHAT SUBSTITUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?
While this recipe calls for ground pork, there are several substitutions that should yield the same or similar results! Additionally, here are a few options other than ground pork:
- Ground Beef, Turkey or Chicken
- Vegan Ground "Meat" Substitution
- Soy Chorizo
- Extra Firm Tofu
With that said, the cooking times and preparation will vary but these options should work just fine!
WHAT IS A SOY MARINATED JAMMY EGG?
First, if you've never had a jammy egg? You are missing out! Jammy eggs are soft boiled eggs, spreadable enough to be traditionally spread on toast. With traditional ramen, soft boiled eggs are included and I didn't want to omit that ingredient.
To explain further, this recipe for jammy eggs are then marinated in a soy mixture that really adds flavor to the recipe. As a result, these marinated eggs are good alone, amazing with this recipe and the marinade can be used on additional dishes like rice and stir-frys!
