Instructions
 

  • Cook the Ground Beef:
    In a large skillet or wok, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  • Prepare the Broth:
    In a separate pot, bring the beef broth and water to a simmer over medium heat. Add soy sauce and sesame oil to the broth.
  • Add Aromatics:
    Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the broth. Stir and let simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Cook Ramen Noodles:
    Break the ramen noodle blocks into the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
  • Add Vegetables:
    Once the noodles are cooked, add sliced mushrooms (if using), shredded carrots (if using), sliced green onions, and baby spinach or bok choy to the pot. Stir until the vegetables are wilted and heated through.
  • Combine with Ground Beef:
    Return the cooked ground beef to the pot with the noodles and vegetables. Stir well to combine and let simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
  • Season to Taste:
    Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve:
    Ladle the beef ramen noodles into bowls and garnish with your choice of toppings such as soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of chili oil.
