Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 200g fresh or instant ramen noodles

Beef and Marinade

  • 250g thinly sliced beef (such as sirloin or ribeye)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Spicy Broth

  • 4 cups beef or vegetable stock
  • 2 tbsp Korean chili paste (gochujang)
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced

Vegetables

  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 100g mushrooms, sliced
  • 100g bok choy, chopped

Creamy Sauce

  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise or alternative creamy base
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp reserved broth (from cooking noodles)

Seasoning and Garnish

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (additional for seasoning if needed)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • Optional: soft boiled eggs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade and Beef: In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, minced garlic, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Add the thinly sliced beef and marinate for at least 20 minutes to enhance tenderness and flavor.
  2. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions until just chewy. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of cooking water, and set aside.
  3. Make the Spicy Broth: In a pot, combine 4 cups of beef or vegetable stock with 2 tbsp gochujang, minced garlic, and ginger. Simmer gently for several minutes to allow the flavors to meld into a spicy, aromatic broth.
  4. Grill the Beef: Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat until very hot. Quickly sear the marinated beef slices until slightly charred and cooked through, sealing in the juices, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  5. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise (or alternative creamy base) with 1 tsp sesame oil and 2 tbsp reserved broth to create a silky, rich sauce that balances the spice.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Divide cooked noodles into serving bowls, ladle over the spicy broth, arrange grilled beef on top, add vegetables such as scallions, mushrooms, and bok choy, then drizzle with creamy sauce. Finish by sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and additional scallions. Optionally, garnish with a soft boiled egg.

Notes

  • Marinate Longer: Marinating beef for up to an hour intensifies flavor and tenderness.
  • Don’t Overcook Noodles: Slightly undercook noodles as they will continue softening once in the broth.
  • Adjust Heat: Add gochujang gradually to suit your spice preference.
  • Fresh Veggies: Use crisp, fresh vegetables for brightness and texture contrast.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy ramen hot and fresh for best taste and texture.
