Salsa Macha Pork Noodles
Mazemen-style noodles tossed with salsa macha — a nutty Mexican chile oil seasoned with cumin and oregano — plus saucy pork and bright garnishes, ready in under 30 minutes.
These noodles are inspired by mazemen, a brothless ramen that is sometimes tossed with a saucy pork mixture. In this case, the sauce is salsa macha (a nutty Mexican chile oil) seasoned with cumin and oregano. Chiles de árbol incorporate heat while guajillos add a sweet fruitiness. The dish is freshened up with cilantro, scallions and a heavy dose of lime juice. You can also top the noodles with a raw egg yolk or a soft-boiled egg. The dish comes together in less than half an hour, making it the perfect upgrade to an instant-ramen weeknight dinner.
