Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g fresh ramen noodles
  • 200 g flank steak
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon gochugaru
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 stalk green onion, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 sprigs cilantro

Instructions

  1. Slice flank steak thinly across the grain and season with salt, black pepper, and half of the sesame oil.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook steak slices for 2 minutes per side until medium. Remove from heat and set aside to rest.
  3. In a pot, heat the remaining sesame oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, and sugar. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
  5. Mix cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Whisk this into the simmering broth until it slightly thickens.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and divide them into serving bowls.
  8. Pour the creamy, spicy broth over the noodles. Top with grilled beef slices, sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and cilantro.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute beef with tofu and use vegetable stock. Adjust spice levels to taste.
