  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (such as avocado or sunflower oil)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Additional sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger powder, toasted sesame oil, and brown sugar (if using). Stir well to combine and set aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add the minced garlic and sliced green onions to the skillet with the beef, sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and smoked paprika, stirring continuously for another minute to toast the spices.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine with the beef, garlic, and spices.
  7. Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the noodles evenly with the flavorful sauce and beef.
  8. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors and heat through.
  9. Once heated through, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the noodles and garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.
