Cooking Guide:
- Prepare the beef: In a bowl, combine beef, soy sauce, and a pinch of black pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef and cook until browned and tender. Set aside.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Cook the noodles: Prepare ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cooked noodles, beef, and gochujang sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
- Serve: Divide noodles among bowls. Garnish with sliced onion, green onion, and sesame seeds. Adjust the spice level by adding red pepper flakes to taste.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, use beef broth instead of water when cooking the noodles.
- You can adjust the spiciness of the dish by adding more or less gochujang.
- Serve with a side of kimchi for a classic Korean flavor combination.
- For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch with water) to the sauce and cook until thickened.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or spinach to the dish.
