Instructions
- Prepare for baking:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Cook noodles:
- Cook ramen noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Brown the meat:
- Add ground pork. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon.
- Make the sauce:
- Stir in gochujang, red pepper flakes, crushed tomatoes, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Mix cheese layer:
- In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, half the mozzarella, and half the parmesan until combined.
- Layer and build:
- In a large baking dish (about 22x30 cm), spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of ramen noodles, then a third of the ricotta mixture, followed by a third of the meat sauce. Repeat layers twice more, finishing with the remaining meat sauce.
- Finish with cheese:
- Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and parmesan over the top.
- Bake:
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and lightly golden.
- Rest and garnish:
- Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions if desired.

Recipe Questions
- → Can I use a different meat instead of pork?
Yes, ground chicken, turkey, or beef work well as substitutes for pork and provide varied flavor profiles.
- → How do I prevent the noodles from getting mushy?
Underboil ramen noodles by two minutes before layering, as they will finish cooking in the oven for ideal texture.
- → What cheese alternatives can I use?
Mascapone or cottage cheese may replace ricotta, and Gruyère or cheddar can supplement mozzarella and parmesan.
- → How can I add more vegetables?
Layer sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini between noodle and meat layers for extra nutrition and flavor.
- → What are serving suggestions for this dish?
Pair with a crisp lager or chilled red wine, and try a drizzle of chili oil for extra spiciness upon serving.
- → What allergens are present?
Contains wheat, eggs, dairy, and soy. Check all packaged ingredients and cheese for potential hidden allergens.
