Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cups Low sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups Water
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
• 9 ounces Ramen noodles (uncooked)
• 2 cups Bok choy, chopped

• 3 Green onions, sliced
• 1 cup Bean sprouts

• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the pork tenderloin into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add the pork strips. Sear until browned on all sides, then remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and water, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce, mixing well.

Step 6

Return the browned pork to the pot and simmer for 20 minutes to deepen the flavors.

Step 7

Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 8

After 20 minutes of simmering, add the chopped bok choy and julienned carrots to the broth, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

To assemble, divide the cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle the hot broth and pork mixture over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a portion of veggies and pork.

Step 10

Top each bowl with bean sprouts, sliced green onions, a halved soft-boiled egg, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro and sesame seeds if desired.
