Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams lean ground beef (90% lean or leaner)
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (unseasoned)
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 100 grams shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for extra spice)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary and set aside.
In a large pot, combine low-sodium beef broth and water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in the gochujang, minced garlic, and low-sodium soy sauce until the chili paste is fully dissolved.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and julienned carrot to the broth. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened slightly.
Add the instant ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot along with the baby spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt for 1-2 minutes.
Drizzle in the toasted sesame oil and stir to combine. If desired, sprinkle red chili flakes for an extra kick of heat.
Ladle the ramyeon into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat spicy beef ramyeon!
