Ingredients
-
300 g (10 oz) fresh ramen or egg noodles
-
300 g (10 oz) ribeye or sirloin beef, thinly sliced
-
30 ml (2 tbsp) sesame oil
-
120 ml (½ cup) heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
-
30 ml (2 tbsp) gochujang (Korean chili paste)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup sautéed mushrooms
-
1 cup spinach leaves
-
1 cup chopped bok choy
-
2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
-
1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
-
1 tsp chili oil (optional, for drizzle)
Beef Marinade:
-
15 ml (1 tbsp) soy sauce
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
-
Marinate the Beef: Combine soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper. Add sliced beef, toss well, and let marinate for 30 minutes.
-
Cook the Noodles: Boil noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
Grill the Beef: Heat 1 tbsp of sesame oil in a grill pan. Cook beef for 3–4 minutes until browned and tender. Remove and keep warm.
-
Make the Sauce: In a skillet, heat the remaining sesame oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in gochujang and cook 1 minute.
-
Add Cream & Noodles: Pour in heavy cream and stir until smooth. Add noodles and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
-
Combine: Add mushrooms, spinach, bok choy, and grilled beef. Stir together until vegetables are wilted and everything is well coated.
-
Serve: Divide into bowls. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and drizzle with chili oil if desired.
Notes
Adjust the spice by using more or less gochujang.
Coconut cream adds a lighter, dairy-free richness.
Don’t overcook noodles—they’ll continue to soften in the sauce.
For extra texture, top with crispy shallots or roasted peanuts.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of cream or water.
