1
In a stockpot, cover ham hocks with water (about 7 cups). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cool and refrigerate until fat hardens on top, 2 to 3 hours (you can leave the hocks in the liquid). Skim fat and return broth to a stockpot and bring to a boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
2
In a separate stockpot over medium-high heat, add oil. When heated, add collard greens, 2/3 of the green onions and all the garlic. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Don't overcook; the collards should still be bright green.
3
Pour hot ham broth (about 6 cups) over collards, add ramen noodles and beans and bring to a boil. Cook until the noodles are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with reserved green onion and cilantro.
