1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb thin sliced pork pieces (with some fat on the edge)
64 oz vegetable broth
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 tsp ginger, minced
2 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin
4 tsp sriracha
3 tbsp miso paste (red or brown)
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 can baby corn
2 packages of udon noodles
4 green onions, sliced
Pour the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork pieces on each side until they are a little brown.
Remove the pork after it's been seared and set it aside.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and put the onion, ginger, and garlic into the pot and cook until the onions are soft, roughly 5-8 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, mirin, miso paste, water chestnuts, baby corn, and sriracha into the pot, turn the heat up to high and bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, add the pork and bring down to a simmer for about an hour.
Pull the pork pieces out of the broth and slice them up, distributing the slices equally among the bowls.
Turn the stove up to high heat to bring the broth back to a boil.
Open up the package of noodles and rinse them under cold water until the water that drips from them is mostly clear.
Add the noodles to the pot and cook them according to the package time (usually 3-5 minutes).
Serve by adding some noodles and broth to bowls and top with green onions.
