Ingredients
- 200 grams lean ground beef (90% lean or leaner)
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (unseasoned)
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 100 grams shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for extra spice)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary and set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine low-sodium beef broth and water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Stir in the gochujang, minced garlic, and low-sodium soy sauce until the chili paste is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and julienned carrot to the broth. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened slightly.
Step 5
Add the instant ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot along with the baby spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Drizzle in the toasted sesame oil and stir to combine. If desired, sprinkle red chili flakes for an extra kick of heat.
Step 8
Ladle the ramyeon into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
