Method
Fry the minced pork in a dry wok over high heat for 6 minutes until well browned and crumbly, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the dark miso paste and cook for 1 minute until it darkens slightly.
Pour in the chicken stock and measured water, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
Whisk the tahini, soy sauce and sesame oil into the broth until smooth.
Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water according to the packet instructions, then drain well.
Divide the noodles between bowls, ladle over the broth and pork, and finish with a drizzle of chilli oil, sliced spring onion and toasted sesame seeds.
