Ingredients

Sauce

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) tamari or all-purpose soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil (olive oil or a neutral oil)
  • 2 tsp freshly minced garlic
  • 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) minced (ground) beef
  • 250 g (9 oz) ramen noodles (or 3 x 85 g/3 oz ramen noodle packets, flavouring sachets discarded)
  • 2 cups (500 ml) water
  • 1 bunch baby bok choy, finely sliced
  • 3 cups (270 g) bean sprouts

Toppings

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Chilli oil crisp (optional)
  • 1 spring onion (scallion), finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce – In a small bowl, combine tamari or soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and mirin. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Stir-fry the beef – Heat the oil in a large, deep, heavy-based pan over medium–high heat. Add the freshly minced garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Cook the beef – Add the minced beef to the pan. Cook, stirring and breaking it up with a spatula, for 3–4 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
  4. Combine the sauce and beef – Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked beef, stir to combine evenly, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Push the beef mixture to the edges of the pan, creating a space in the center.
  5. Add the noodles – Place the ramen noodles in the empty center space of the pan. Pour in the 2 cups of water; the noodles will be partially submerged, which is fine.
  6. Cook the noodles – Cover the pan with a lid and let the noodles cook for 1 minute. Remove the lid, turn the noodles gently with tongs, cover again, and cook for another 1 minute until the noodles are just pliable.
  7. Add the veggies – Remove the lid and toss in the finely sliced baby bok choy and bean sprouts. Use tongs to gently mix the noodles, beef, and vegetables until well combined. Cook while tossing for 1 more minute to slightly soften the vegetables and finish cooking the noodles.
  8. Serve – Serve the beef ramen immediately, topped with sesame seeds, optional chilli oil crisp, and finely sliced spring onion for a fresh, crunchy garnish.

Notes

  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Adjust the chili oil crisp quantity to control the spiciness of the dish.
  • If ramen noodles are not available, other instant noodles without seasoning packets can be used.
  • Baby bok choy and bean sprouts can be substituted or combined with other vegetables like spinach or shredded carrots according to preference.
  • Cook noodles just until slightly pliable to avoid overcooking when adding vegetables.
  • For a lower fat version, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey.
