Method

Broth Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, combine the pork bone broth, sambal oelek, soy sauce, minced ginger, chopped garlic, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let cook for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Add Scallions

    After simmering, add the chopped scallions to the broth and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Pork Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pork

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Rub the pork tenderloin with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the pork in the smoker and smoke for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  2. 4

    Slice the Pork

    Once smoked, remove the pork tenderloin from the smoker, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice into thin pieces.

Noodles and Assembly

  1. 5

    Cook the Udon Noodles

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

  2. 6

    Prepare the Bok Choy

    In the same pot, briefly blanch the chopped bok choy in boiling water for about 2 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Ramen

    In serving bowls, divide the cooked udon noodles, add the blanched bok choy, and top with the sliced smoked pork. Finally, ladle the spicy sambal pork broth over the top and serve hot.
