Lychee and Pork Ramen
Oh my.
This ramen.
This one took me a few tries but I’m very excited to show my new Lychee Pork Curry Ramen. Packed with flavor, this ramen dish has a few unusual garnishes but I PROMISE they come together like you wouldn’t believe. It has a great, punchy flavor with a spicy/salty/sweet flair that is almost too good to be true.
This ramen is actually mainly inspired by a salad that kinda blew my mind at Rose’s Luxury in Washington D.C. I’ve had their Pork Lychee Salad twice now and it ALWAYS impresses me. It brings together some interesting ingredients including spicy sausage, lychee (a super sweet, warm climate fruit), a coconut foam salad dressing, and raw onion and peanuts for toppings. Weird right?? Yes but also no, trust me, amazing!
Originally, this recipe was going to be a copycat of that salad until I decided that was lame for this instance. I wanted a full meal and something that incorporated all those fun flavors. And thus, after a lot of tinkering, this Lychee and Pork Ramen was born!
