Time 15 minutes
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
For the sauce
- 65g regular soy sauce
- 2tsp sesame oil
- 65ml hoisin sauce
- 35ml mirin
- 1tsp crispy chilli oil
For the ramen
- 1 packet Little Meat Co. Beef and Pork Meatballs

To serve

Method
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, mirin and crispy chilli oil. Stir well.
- Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook according to packet instructions (usually 6–8 minutes), turning occasionally until heated through and slightly caramelised.
- Add water to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 2–3 minutes, loosening with tongs as they soften.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles and meatballs, tossing well to ensure they are evenly coated and glossy.
- Stir through the baby bok choy and bean sprouts and cook for a further 1–2 minutes, until just wilted but still vibrant.
- Divide into bowls and finish with sesame seeds, sliced spring onion, coriander and a spoonful of crispy chilli oil if you like a little heat.
