Ingredients

• 200 g Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 2 pieces Zucchini (medium, spiralized)
• 4 cups Beef bone broth (unsalted, low-carb)
• 1.5 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
• 1.5 tablespoons Gochujang (low-carb Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Scallions (chopped, green and white parts divided)
• 0.5 cup Kimchi (optional, ensure low-carb)
• 2 pieces Egg (optional, soft boiled)
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the zucchini noodles. Use a spiralizer to create noodle-like strands from the zucchinis. Set them aside.

Step 2

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions to the pot. Stir frequently and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the gochugaru, gochujang, and soy sauce to the pot, stirring to coat the beef in the spicy mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the beef bone broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed. If using kimchi, add it to the pot and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the zucchini noodles to the simmering broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the noodles are tender but still have a slight crunch.

Step 8

Divide the noodles and broth evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with soft-boiled eggs, green parts of the scallions, and sesame seeds if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb spicy beef ramyeon!
