Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I've cut a few corners for my homely version of this hipster favourite. If cheating with a little bought stock means the difference between enjoying a soul-enhancing bowl of ramen rather than just dreaming about it, then I'll cheat every time.
1 large leek, white part, thinly sliced
2 tbsp chilli paste
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp ginger, grated
250g ground pork
1 tbsp soy sauce
4-5 tbsp white miso paste
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 litre chicken stock
400g fresh egg noodles
150g bean sprouts
80g baby spinach, washed
Place the finely sliced leeks into a bowl and toss with the chilli paste. Cover and set aside until needed.
In a wok, heat the oil, add the garlic and ginger and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until soft. Add the pork and fry for 2 to 4 minutes, till the meat is golden. Add the soy, miso, sesame oil, sugar and stock and bring to the boil for 2 to 4 minutes.
Place the noodles in a large bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soak according to packet instructions. Drain and refresh under cold running water.
Divide the noodles between 4 soup bowls then divide out the bean sprouts and spinach. Pour over the pork stock. Serve straight away, topped with the leeks.
