Niku Soboro

Minced meat stir-fry, with a bit of a spicy kick, can be served on heartier bowls of ramen. Pork is the likely choice, but chicken or beef work as well. This is also a standard topping on bowls of spicy tantanmen—a ramen interpretation of a spicy Chinese noodle dish.

Notes

Sweet bean paste (or sauce—they’re the same thing) is made from soybeans and fermented wheat flour. It gets its sweetness from the fermentation process rather than from added sugar. You can find jars of sweet bean sauce in Asian grocery stores or online.
