Ingredients

• 300 g grass-fed ground beef
• 2 medium zucchini
• 3 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 4 cups beef bone broth
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger
• 2 tbsp Korean chili paste (Paleo-friendly gochujang or substitute with harissa)
• 1 tsp red chili flakes
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
• 2 stalks scallions
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler and set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Slice the shiitake mushrooms and chop the scallions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts.

Step 3

Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula, until no longer pink (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Stir in the Korean chili paste (or harissa) and red chili flakes. Mix well so the beef is evenly coated.

Step 6

Pour in the beef bone broth, coconut aminos, and fish sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and baby spinach to the broth. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach is wilted.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and add the zucchini noodles. Let them sit in the hot broth for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly without overcooking.

Step 9

Ladle the ramyeon into bowls and garnish with the green parts of the scallions. Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Spicy Beef Ramyeon!
