Instructions
-
Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with zero-calorie cooking spray. Once the pan is hot, add the spiralized zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes until just warmed through. Be careful not to overcook the zoodles—they should remain firm and slightly crisp to prevent them from becoming watery or mushy. Set aside.
-
Cook the Pork: In a separate small non-stick pan, spray with zero-calorie cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the cubed pork chop along with two tablespoons of soy sauce and one tablespoon of mirin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Set the pork aside.
-
Prepare the Broth: In a medium saucepan, bring 8 oz of water to a gentle simmer. Stir in 2 tablespoons of spicy miso ramen broth concentrate until fully dissolved, creating a rich and flavorful broth.
-
Assemble the Ramen Bowl: Place the warmed zucchini noodles into a serving bowl. Ladle the hot, spicy miso broth over the noodles.
-
Top It Off: Add the cooked pork, sliced green onions, a halved soft-boiled egg, and a scoop of kimchi to the bowl for a burst of color and flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Stir everything together or savor each element separately—the rich, umami flavors will shine through in every bite!
