Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add white onion and bell pepper and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the onion begins to glisten. Add ground pork and cook until browned, using the back of a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Cook for about 10 minutes, until meat is no longer pink and is beginning to brown. Add Italian seasoning and stir until evenly distributed. Add white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. When wine has almost evaporated, add chicken stock and ramen, stirring to combine evenly. Make sure all the ramen pieces are covered with chicken stock so that they cook properly. Allow to cook until Ramen is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 3-5 minutes. It may be necessary to remove some excess liquid with a spoon. Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until combined. Allow to cook over low heat for 3-4 more minutes to thicken. Serve with fresh cilantro and green onions. Enjoy!
