Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 4 portions ramen noodles
  • 6 cups chicken or pork broth
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin-free rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 8 oz / 225 g cooked sliced pork loin or shoulder
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 2 tbsp scallions, sliced

Let’s make it

  1. Bring the broth, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar to a simmer in a pot.
  2. Add the pork slices to warm through for 2-3 minutes; make sure the pork is fully cooked and hot.
  3. Cook the ramen noodles separately according to package directions and drain well.
  4. Divide the noodles between bowls, ladle over the broth, and top with pork, eggs, spinach, corn, and scallions.
  5. Serve immediately.

For younger kids, skip the soft-boiled egg and use a fully cooked egg instead.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
