Ingredients
For the Broth and Beef
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (sirloin or ribeye)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
For the Noodles and Toppings
- 4 servings fresh or dried ramen noodles
- 2 cups baby spinach or bok choy
- 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 4 large eggs
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the broth and beef: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, miso paste, brown sugar, and chili paste if using. Stir well to combine and bring the broth to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the simmering broth and cook just until the beef turns brown and is tender, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the broth on low heat.
- Prepare the noodles and vegetables: Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside. Add the sliced mushrooms and spinach or bok choy to the broth and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright in color.
- Fry the eggs: In a non-stick skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs one by one and fry until the whites are set but yolks remain runny or cook to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the ramen bowls: Divide the cooked noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the noodles. Top each bowl with the cooked beef slices and a fried egg. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
- You can substitute the beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
- Adjust the chili paste to your spice preference or omit for a milder bowl.
- Use fresh noodles when available for best texture.
- For a richer broth, add a splash of mirin or sake.
- Ensure not to overcook the eggs to maintain those delicious runny yolks.
