Ingredients
30 ml vegetable oil (2 Tbsp)
450 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced (1 lb)
950 ml beef broth (4 cups)
480 ml water (2 cups)
255 g instant ramen noodles (3 packs of 85 g each, discard seasoning)
100 g sliced mushrooms (1 cup)
30 g baby spinach (1 cup)
2 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
15 ml soy sauce (1 Tbsp)
15 ml sesame oil (1 Tbsp)
5 g fresh ginger, grated (1 tsp)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 soft-boiled eggs (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef slices and sear for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add beef broth and water. Bring to a boil.
Add mushrooms and soy sauce. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in ramen noodles and cook 3–4 minutes until tender.
Return the beef to the pot with the baby spinach. Simmer for 2 minutes until spinach wilts.
Stir in sesame oil, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve hot topped with green onions and optional soft-boiled eggs.
Notes
Use very thinly sliced beef for quick cooking and tenderness.
Store cooked noodles separately if making ahead to prevent mushiness.
Fresh ginger adds depth—don’t skip if possible.
Customize by adding bok choy, kale, or chili oil for extra heat.
Reheat gently with extra broth or water to restore consistency.
