Crockpot Caramelized Pork Ramen Noodle Soup w/Curry Roasted Acorn Squash

The BEST ramen!!! This recipe is well worth the effort. Serve with jammy ramen eggs, green onions, toasted sesame seeds, sliced jalapenos, etc. Edited to say this works with pork and chicken thighs.

Our family really enjoyed this. We had a whole pork shoulder and used half of it for this and the other half for pork sandwiches. The broth flavor with all of the mixtures of flavors really shines in this recipe. Nice balance of sweet, salty, umami, earthy, and some brightness from the scallion-cilantro finish. I added some bok choy, corn and cooked the chopped carrots fully with plain, white mushrooms, but everything else was the same. Leftovers: kept eggs separate with the squash, scallion, and cilantro for the next serving. Oh, and I could eat that squash by itself it's so good.

Add three star anise to broth. Use dark soy sauce to caramelize the pork. Add two pork seasoning ramen packets

One of my favorite fall and winter recipes. It's a little more involved than a typical set it and forget it crockpot recipe, but it's worth it. Honestly the best ramen I've ever had.

Amazing fall recipe, sweet and savory (and incredibly easy)
