Ingredients

1 Pound Ground Beef I recommend using 80/20 ground beef!
5 Cloves Garlic mashed
1 Tablespoon Ginger grated
1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
½ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
½ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
4 Cups Beef Broth
⅓ Cup Brown Sugar
4 Packages Ramen Noodles you'll only need ONE of the seasoning packets!
1 Lime juiced
1 Bunch Green Onions thinly sliced
½ Cup Peanuts chopped
2 Tablespoons Chili Crunch Topping optional - you can buy it at Trader Joe's or make your own!

Instructions

To make this ramen, start by preparing the beef. Heat a large pan, on the stove, over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add in the ground beef and use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces. Sauté the meat until it's almost cooked through.
Then, mash the garlic, grate the ginger, and add them to the pan alongside the sesame oil, soy sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, beef broth, and brown sugar.
Stir until the ingredients are fully combined and allow them to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the ramen noodles to the pan, alongside of one of the seasoning packets.
Stir the noodles into the soup and allow them to cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the noodles have softened.
Once the noodles are cooked, divide the ramen evenly amongst four bowls.
Garnish the ramen with green onions, chopped peanuts, and chili crunch, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
