How to Make Easy Spicy Pork Noodles

Once you have your ingredients out and ready to go, it’s a matter of getting all that flavor mixed together. First, cook the ramen noodles, but do not add the flavor pack (if there is one). They usually take about 3 minutes in boiling water. Drain the noodles and set them aside.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat up the oil and cook the sliced pork loin in the heated oil until it has been browned. Then, add the garlic and cook it for about a minute. Next, add the brown sugar, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the ingredients simmer for about 5 minutes. Finally, mix in the boiled noodles and serve! You can add green onions to the top if you wish. 

How to Slice the Pork

I have emphasized slicing the pork very thin, but what does that mean exactly? If you can’t buy it already sliced, you can definitely do it on your own. First, place the cut of meat into a freezer-safe bag and freeze the meat for about an hour. If you are letting the meat thaw from a frozen state, don’t let it get completely thawed out before slicing it. You want the pork to be easy enough to cut through, but still have some firmness to it. Grab a sharp knife and carefully slice pieces about 1/8-inch thick and set aside until you have all the meat sliced. You can use the meat immediately, or you can wrap the pieces in plastic wrap, seal in a freezer-safe bag, and store in the freezer until you are ready to use them.

    Yum! This was really good! I have sinus problems going on, so I wanted it a little bit spicier. So I added 1/2 TBLS of sesame oil and 1/2 TBLS olive oil to cook my already cooked and smoked pork roast along with the rest of the ingredients and some grated carrots and mushrooms that I had on hand and let it simmer altogether. I didn’t have ramen noodles, so I used angel hair pasta instead. My husband and I really liked it!
    (I hope it’s okay to mention the changes I made to the recipe. I find it helpful to read through the comments to find out how others may have changed things up a little bit.)
    Thanks for a great recipe!

    1. I’m not sure how the Author/ Blogger feels about sharing substitutions/changes/additions, etc., but personally I enjoy reading them AS LONG AS the person commenting is just sharing ideas or things that worked for them.
      I DO NOT agree when people comment with statements such as, “it should be made like this”, this recipe is wrong, it’s better this way/with this added/subtracted”, or “so & so does it like this and it’s so much better than (this bloggers) recipe/ it’s the RIGHT WAY to do it”. Basically anything that puts down the original Blogger/Author, or the people who just post their own recipe, something that’s totally different than what the author/blogger has shared. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT AGREE with that, I find it very rude, disrespectful and in poor taste.

      That being said, it’s great to hear about how YOU made the recipe work for you & your family… 🩷

      1. I also want to add to your comment. I hope you don’t mind. But I absolutely hate it when people go in here and review it and completely change the entire recipe. Or when they give it a negative review and say they left stuff out or did something different.

  2. This is an easy and quick meal. I added asparagus and mushrooms and it was delicious. Any vegetable would be good I’m sure. Love the sauce!

    I added Gochujang, cabbage, shredded carrots, ginger, and a little hot chili oil at the end to mix this with another recipe and add a kick! I loved the base sauce in this recipie though!

    This was pretty good. The appearance was a little off putting since it was all kind of muddy looking. I am definitely going to make this again. I will add some colorful vegetables and more chili sauce as it wasn’t as hot as I would have liked.

    It is delicious; I have used chicken, too, but I double the meat portion and add broccoli and other veggies and an extra packet of noodles since it makes quite a bit of sauce.

    Used whole wheat capellini for extra fiber. Added broccoli and snow peas. Finished off with sesame seeds and sesame oil. Delicious!

    This was very good. I added some canned mushrooms. I made it as printed with the exception of the garlic chili sauce which I did not have. So I added an extra clove of garlic and a large tablespoon of ketchup mixed with a little Franks Hot Sauce. Oh and I didn’t have Ramen noodles but I did have noodles and I cooked them first then added them and cooked everything another few minutes. Very tasty. A keeper.

    1. I used a garlic dipping sauce I found near the make it yourself pizza stuff at Walmart. It’s like the garlic dipping sauce from papa johns.

      1. We don’t have a poppa johns. So since it has two ingredients should be simple but…
        To make it chili pepper (powder) and a “liquid” garlic. Is that something I can purchase in a store? I don’t recall ever seeing that. Also what would the amounts? Once you explain liquid garlic 🙄🙂 how much of the two ingredients do you combine to make the sauce for this recipe? Thank you in advance.

      2. You’ll find the garlic chili sauce in the Asian food aisle. Look near sweet and sour sauce, etc. Its not like liquid pizza dipping sauce.
