Description
A bold, comforting Korean-inspired ramen dish that layers chewy noodles, spicy-sweet gochujang cream sauce, and juicy grilled beef, finished with fresh garnishes for the ultimate noodle bowl experience.
Ingredients
- 2 packs Korean ramen noodles (e.g., Samyang or Shin Ramyun)
- 8 oz sirloin or ribeye beef, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (for marinade)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (for marinade)
- 1 tsp sesame oil (for marinade)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1–2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tsp soy sauce (for sauce)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp sesame oil (for drizzling)
- Optional: kimchi, toasted sesame seeds, soft-boiled egg
Instructions
- Marinate beef with soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil for at least 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan, heat cream and stir in gochujang and soy sauce until smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust spice to taste.
- Grill or pan-sear beef slices over high heat for 1–2 minutes per side until caramelized. Slice against the grain if needed.
- Cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Assemble bowls: divide noodles, pour creamy sauce over, top with grilled beef, scallions, and optional garnishes.
Notes
- Make it dairy-free with coconut cream or soy creamer.
- Swap beef for tofu, shrimp, or chicken as desired.
- Store components separately and reheat gently for best leftovers.
