Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring broth to a boil in a large pot. Whisk in black garlic paste and soy sauce until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Add ramen noodles and cook until just tender, about 3–4 minutes. Stir occasionally to separate.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear pork slices 60 seconds per side without stirring.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer pork to a plate. Slide it into the simmering broth and turn off the heat.

  5. Step 5

    Divide noodles and broth between two bowls. Top with seared pork and sliced scallions.
