Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain and press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add ground pork and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add minced garlic and ginger to the pot with the pork. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the doubanjiang, soy sauce, and broth. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Tofu

    Gently add the cubed tofu into the pot and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Thicken the Sauce

    Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add to the pot and stir until the sauce thickens.

  7. 7

    Cook Ramen Noodles

    In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  8. 8

    Serve
