Cooking Method

  1. Prepare Noodles

    • Cook ramen noodles in boiling water according to package directions. Reserve ¼ cup of the hot noodle water, drain the noodles, and set aside.
  2. Sear the Beef

    • Heat a wok over high heat. Add 2 Tbsp vegetable oil to coat.
    • Season the sliced ribeye with salt, then sear in the hot wok, allowing one side to brown for about 2 minutes. Toss and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
    • Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables

    • Add 1 Tbsp of oil to the wok. Once hot, add onion, garlic, ginger, and chilies. Season with 1-2 ramen seasoning packets, adjusting to taste.
    • Stir fry until the onions are soft, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Combine and Season

    • Return the beef to the wok with the cooked noodles.
    • Add mirin, sweet soy sauce, additional ramen seasoning packets as needed, and soy sauce to taste.
    • Stir fry everything together, adjusting with reserved ramen water for sauce consistency if needed.
  5. Plate and Serve

    • Garnish with green onions and serve hot.

Protips

  • For extra flavor, try using fresh ramen or adding a dash of sesame oil.
  • Adjust spice levels by adding or reducing chili amounts.
