- In a medium bowl, mix the pork, cilantro, soy sauce, egg, panko, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3 garlic cloves and 2 green onions together. Scoop the meatball mixture into 12 golf-sized balls and roll.
- Using an Instant Pot, press the saute function on normal and allow to heat up for 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and add 6 meatballs. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on each side, another 4 minutes. Remove to a plate and then add the other 6 meatballs and sear for the same amount of time then transfer to the plate.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the empty pot and add the green onion whites from 6 green onions and a pinch of salt and cook for a couple of minutes until softened, then add the ginger and 3 garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, another minute.
- Add the chicken broth and meatballs. Place the lid on the Instant Pot set to slow-cook and cook 2 hours on high.
- When the time is up open the slow cooker and set to saute on normal. Once the soup is boiling, add the ramen and cabbage and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles and cabbage are soft. Taste and season with additional salt, as needed. Add the green onion greens and serve immediately.
