Slightly adapted from a recipe in Let's Cook Japanese Food...
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4-6 strips of bacon, fried then crumbled
1/2 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon chili bean paste
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
2 packages instant ramen
3 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted & ground
2 green onions, minced
Hot chili oil
In a frying pan, cook the slices of bacon and set them aside. Wipe out the pan leaving some of the bacon grease and add the sesame oil. Over medium-high heat, brown the pork breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the chili bean paste and the garlic and continue to cook until the pork is cooked through and is very crispy. Remove from heat & set aside (I recommend draining both the bacon and the cooked pork on a paper towel). Cook the ramen according to the directions but discard the flavor packet. Once cooked, drain the ramen noodles and set aside. Divide the ground sesame seeds between two large bowls and then pour half of the chicken broth into each bowl. Add the noodles, then top with the cooked pork, crumbled bacon & green onions. Drizzle hot chili oil according to your taste & enjoy!! This is one of our favorites :)
P.S. I can usually only eat half a serving but the leftovers reheat really well & can be eaten the next day for lunch!
