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
  • 12 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

  1. Marinate beef with soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil for at least 20 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, heat cream and stir in gochujang and soy sauce until smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust spice to taste.
  3. Grill or pan-sear beef slices over high heat for 1–2 minutes per side until caramelized. Slice against the grain if needed.
  4. Cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  5. 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.
