Ground Pork Ramen
This ramen comes together quickly, making it a good option for a weeknight meal. Ground pork is browned until crisp, then combined with tender ramen noodles, celery, and garlic in a savory sauce built from reserved noodle water, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. A generous squeeze of lime at the end brightens the whole dish.

Cook Ramen Noodles
While you prep your other ingredients, cook the ramen noodles (discarding the seasoning packet). Before draining, scoop out about ½ cup of the starchy cooking water and set it aside; this will become part of the sauce.
Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking. They should be springy, not spongy.
