Pork noodle soup

I planned on making this recipe from Alison Roman, and when it came to it, I didn’t really pay much attention to it, because it’s pretty much in my blood to know how to make a noodle soup. What I did take from her is the addition of pork mince (or in my case, sausage meat, because I couldn’t find pork mince in my local supermarket). It feels and tastes like a mix between a kimchi jiggae, hot pot and ramen. You can use various different configurations, but I really love the flavours in this once – they’re salty, spicy, deep and rich. Less fatty than a ramen. Less loose than a jiggae. Less going on than a hot pot. Great on a rainy afternoon whilst watching The Farewell.
