Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Cut the pork into thin julienne strips and place in a bowl. Add the soy sauce and cornstarch. Marinate the pork for 15 minutes.
-
Break the ramen noodles into pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over, cover the bowl, and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
-
In a small bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce with the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon of the ramen seasoning packet and set aside.
-
Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Stir-fry until aromatic, about 15 seconds.
-
Add the pork. Stir-fry until the pork is no longer pink and is nearly cooked through. Remove from the wok to a plate.
-
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the wok. Add the stir-fry vegetables and stir-fry according to the package directions.
-
Push the vegetables up to the side. Add the broth mixture in the middle of the wok. Add the cornstarch slurry mixture, stirring quickly to thicken.
-
Add the pork and the noodles. Stir in the green onion. Add a bit of soy sauce and sugar for extra flavor if desired. Heat through and serve hot.
