Stir the noodles gently while cooking to prevent them from sticking. Once ready, drain them in a colander and set them aside. Make sure to keep them warm. This will help them soak up the spicy broth later. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté it until it looks clear, about 3-4 minutes. Next, stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 inch of grated ginger. Cook these for about a minute until you smell the great aroma. Increase the heat to medium-high and add 250g of ground beef. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it turns brown, about 5-7 minutes. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of chili paste, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix everything well and let it simmer gently. Add 1 cup of chopped bok choy and 1 cup of sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender but still bright. Grab your bowls and divide the cooked ramen noodles between them. Ladle the spicy beef broth over the noodles, making sure to include the tasty beef and veggies. Top each bowl with sliced green onions and a halved soft-boiled egg if you like. Don’t forget to sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for added crunch. Enjoy your delicious spicy beef ramen bowls! To make soft-boiled eggs, start by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and cook for exactly six to seven minutes. This time gives you a nice, runny yolk. After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for a few minutes. This will stop the cooking and make peeling easier. When you’re ready to serve, tap the egg gently and peel away the shell. If you want more heat, add more chili paste to the broth. Start with one tablespoon and taste. You can always add more, but you cannot take it out! For less heat, use less chili paste. You can also add a little sugar to balance the heat. Remember to taste as you go! When cooking ramen noodles, follow the package instructions. They usually take around three to four minutes. Avoid overcooking them, as they can become mushy. Drain the noodles and rinse them briefly under cold water to stop the cooking. This keeps them firm and ready for your spicy broth. Don’t forget to toss them in a little sesame oil to keep them from sticking. {{image_2}} You can easily make this dish meatless. Swap the ground beef for tofu or tempeh. Both options soak up flavors well. Use the same spices and broth. Mushrooms add that umami taste. Don't forget to add more veggies, like bell peppers or carrots. They bring color and crunch. If you want to try other meats, go for ground chicken or pork. Both will work great in this recipe. Shredded beef or even sliced steak make a hearty choice. Adjust the cooking time based on the meat you pick. This way, you can enjoy different flavors every time. Get creative with your ramen! Try adding miso paste for depth. A splash of lime juice can brighten the broth. You can also toss in some fresh herbs, like cilantro or basil. For a bit of crunch, add roasted peanuts or cashews. Each option brings a new twist to this dish. Enjoy experimenting! To store leftover ramen, let it cool to room temperature. Place the noodles and broth in separate airtight containers. This keeps the noodles from getting soggy. Store the containers in the fridge for up to three days. You can also keep toppings like green onions and soft-boiled eggs in separate containers. To reheat your ramen, first take it out of the fridge. If you stored the noodles and broth separately, heat the broth in a pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the noodles and let them warm up for a minute. Stir gently to combine. For toppings, simply heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds or until warm. You can freeze the spicy beef ramen broth for later use. Pour the cooled broth into a freezer-safe container. Make sure to leave some space at the top, as liquids expand when frozen. Seal the container tightly and label it with the date. The broth can last in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to use it, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Heat it on the stove before serving. Yes, you can use instant ramen noodles. They cook fast and save time. Just follow the package instructions for cooking. Instant noodles work well with the spicy beef broth. They soak up the flavors nicely. Remember, they may be softer than regular ramen noodles. Adjust cooking time to keep them firm. Ground beef is perfect for this recipe. It cooks quickly and adds great flavor. You can also use thinly sliced beef. Cuts like sirloin or flank steak work well. Just remember to cook it fast to keep it tender. The key is to use fresh beef for the best taste. To make it less spicy, reduce the chili paste. Start with half a tablespoon and taste the broth.
