Ginger Scallion Ramen with Chashu Braised Pork Belly

Ginger Scallion

Ginger and scallion seem like an unlikely duo. But in many Asian recipes, these two pair like the Batman and Robin of aromatics. Throw some oil in the mix and you’ve got a fresh-tasting sauce to dip or toss any food into.

We recently took our chef to one of San Francisco’s oldest Chinese restaurants and blew his mind (and taste buds) with a classic order of Hainan chicken with ginger scallion sauce. If you haven’t tried this dish before, go to your local Chinese joint and order it now!

After commenting on how simple and delicious this dish was, we decided to bring it back to our ramen lab. With a few iterations, we came to this simple, quick, and delicious recipe for a ginger scallion ramen with chashu braised pork belly, poached egg, and chili oil. 

This dish hits the spot at any time of the day, and in any kind of weather.
