Ingredients

For the Sticky Beef:

  • ½ Cup Chicken Broth
  • 2 Teaspoons Arrowroot or cornstarch
  • 3 Tablespoons Dark Soy Sauce or low sodium soy sauce⁣
  • 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper or white pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil
  • 1 Pound Lean Ground Beef 93/7
  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger minced⁣
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic minced⁣

For the Broth:

  • 1 Tablespoon Red Curry Paste
  • 1 Tablespoon White Miso⁣
  • 1 Tablespoon Cashew Butter or peanut butter⁣
  • 2 Tablespoons Dark Soy Sauce or low sodium soy⁣ sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 2 ½ Cups Chicken Broth
  • 14 Ounce Can Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 6 Ounces Uncooked Ramen Noodles

Garnishes:

  • Chopped Cucumbers
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Cilantro
  • Chili Crisp Oil

Instructions

  • To make these ramen bowls, start with the sticky sauce. In a small bowl, whisk the 1/2 cup of chicken broth with the arrowroot or cornstarch until smooth and lump-free. Then whisk in the dark soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, and pepper, and set it aside.
  • Next, heat the avocado oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat. When it’s hot, add the ground beef and leave it alone for 3-4 minutes so it can get brown and crispy on the bottom. Then mash it into small pieces and keep cooking, stirring only occasionally, until it’s browned all over.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the ginger and garlic, stirring for about 1 minute. Pour in the sauce and stir for 1 more minute, until the beef is sticky and well coated. Transfer the beef to a plate.
  • In the same pan, add the red curry paste, white miso, cashew butter, dark soy sauce, and maple syrup, and stir everything into a thick paste. Pour in the chicken broth, coconut milk, and kosher salt, and whisk again until smooth. Add the ramen noodles and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until they’re cooked through, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • To serve, divide the noodles between four bowls. Add a big scoop of sticky beef to each bowl, then ladle the broth over top. Finish with chopped cucumbers, sesame seeds, cilantro, and a drizzle of chili crisp, and enjoy!
