Ingredients

• 200 grams Lean beef (such as sirloin or tenderloin), thinly sliced
• 250 grams Whole-grain ramen noodles
• 4 cups Low-sodium beef broth
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 3 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 1 Red chili (optional, for extra heat), thinly sliced
• 2 Lime, wedges (optional, for serving)
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the beef by trimming any visible fat and slicing it thinly into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Cook the whole-grain ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the gochugaru to the pot and stir for another 30 seconds to release its flavors.

Step 5

Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce and add the thinly sliced beef to the pot. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and tender.

Step 7

Add the baby spinach, julienned carrot, bean sprouts, and sliced scallions to the soup. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes, just until the vegetables are softened but still vibrant.

Step 8

Divide the cooked ramen noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth, beef, and vegetables over the noodles evenly.

Step 9

Top each bowl with optional sliced red chili for extra heat and serve with lime wedges on the side for added brightness.

Step 10

Enjoy your heart-healthy spicy beef ramyeon warm!
