So much ramen love these days!ย I try not to eat a lot of gluten, so I created these flavorful Gluten-Free Pulled Pork Ramen Bowls using gluten-free ramen noodles.
This tasty dish features leftover pulled pork for protein, woody shiitake mushrooms, and vibrant baby bok choy. Itโs hearty, healthy, and super fast!
Ramen is all the rage right now during these quarantine times. Not only is this ramen bowl meal a healthy, flavorful dish for the entire family, but it's on the table in 30 minutes!
These Gluten-Free Pulled Pork Ramen Bowls have incredible flavor from the miso paste, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil.
Ingredients you'll need for this tasty ramen bowl
I used the following main ingredients to assemble this beautiful ramen bowl:
- Gluten-free ramen noodles (like Lotus Foods Organic Millet & Brown Rice Ramen)
- Shiitake mushrooms
- Green onions
- Fresh ginger
- Fresh garlic
- Chicken or vegetable broth
- Miso paste
- Gluten-free soy sauce
- Toasted sesame oil
- Baby bok choy
- Cooked pulled pork (pork shoulder)
- Soft boiled eggs
[*See recipe card for exact quantities.]
Leftover pulled pork was used in this ramen bowl recipe, cutting down on the preparation time! I used pork shoulder cooked in my Instant Pot. You can use this recipe to make the pulled pork: Instant Pot Pulled Pork.
I used these gluten-free, vegan ramen noodles fromย Lotus Foods. They tasted incredible! And the sautรฉed shiitake mushrooms are so perfect in this ramen bowl.
The brightness of baby bok choy in this ramen bowl really adds a wonderful texture.
How do you make these gluten-free ramen bowls?
- Heat canola oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Add in the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sautรฉ until softened and slightly browned.
- Transfer mushrooms onto a plate, cover with aluminum foil (to keep them warm), and set aside.
Make the broth
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil into the pot. Add white parts of the green onions, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Sautรฉ. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer.
- While the broth is simmering, fill another large stock pot with water and bring to a boil. Add in the baby bok choy and cook until slightly softened.. Remove and drain while bok choy is still bright green. Set aside.
- Place the miso paste into a bowl. Ladle boiling liquid into the bowl and whisk until miso is completely dissolved. Add the miso broth mixture back into the pot along, with soy sauce and sesame oil.
Assemble the ramen bowls
- At the bottom of a shallow bowl, place the ramen noodles at the bottom of each bowl.
- Ladle some of the miso broth over the noodles and place the shiitake mushrooms, pulled pork, and baby bok choy around the edges of the bowl.
- Place the softened eggs in the middle of the bowl and garnish with the green slices of onions and sprinkles of black sesame seeds. Serve while hot!
