# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp Sriracha (if using). Set aside. Prepare 3 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, and thinly slice 4 scallions, dividing them for cooking and garnish.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to ensure your Easy Potsticker Noodle Bowls in 30 Minutes aren't greasy.
03 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the browned pork. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, enhancing the flavor profile.
04 -
While the pork cooks, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 3 (3 oz) packages instant ramen noodles (discarding seasoning packets) and cook according to package directions until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Drain well and set aside, ready for assembly.
05 -
Add the cooked ramen noodles, 3 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, and half of the sliced scallions to the skillet with the pork mixture. Pour in the prepared sauce. Toss everything together until well combined and the vegetables are slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes. This creates the delicious base for your Easy Potsticker Noodle Bowls in 30 Minutes.
06 -
Divide the Easy Potsticker Noodle Bowls in 30 Minutes among four serving bowls. Garnish each bowl generously with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and the remaining sliced scallions. Serve immediately for a quick and satisfying meal that's packed with flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, swap ground pork for crumbled firm tofu or plant-based ground "meat."
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
03 -
Feel free to add other quick-cooking veggies like snap peas, bell peppers, or spinach during the last few minutes of cooking for extra nutrition and crunch.
04 -
Don't overcook the cabbage and carrots; a slight crunch adds great texture to these noodle bowls!
