• 2 tablespoons Chicken broth or water
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sake (if using), sugar, and chicken broth or water. Set aside the sauce mixture.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the sliced green onions (negi) and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the pan and stir well to coat the pork and onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
