15-min. Easy Bulgogi Beef Ramen
Description
The 15-min. Easy Bulgogi Beef Ramen features thin slices of ribeye steak cooked briefly in a hot pan with onion and green onion, creating a tender yet flavorful base. Baby bok choy adds a mild bitterness and crispness that balances the rich bulgogi sauce infused throughout the dish. The instant ramen noodles are softened separately, rinsed under cold water to avoid sogginess, and then combined into the pan to absorb the sauce and mingle with the beef and vegetables. Cooking is quick, relying on high heat stir-frying to maintain texture and flavor integrity.
The dish is ready to serve immediately after combining all ingredients, optionally garnished with sesame seeds for a nutty finish. The bulgogi sauce provides a savory-sweet depth that complements the beef and greens without overpowering the noodles. This recipe offers a filling meal suitable for those seeking a mix of protein, greens, and carbs in a short time.
Using hot pot style thinly sliced ribeye allows the meat to cook rapidly without drying out, and rinsing the noodles prevents them from becoming mushy. The method avoids prolonged boiling of noodles, preserving their bite, and the choice of bulgogi sauce balances sweetness with savory notes for umami impact.
Ingredients
- 15.52 oz instant ramen noodles or sub with fresh ramen noodles
- 1 lb ribeye steak I recommend finding hot pot style kind as it's thinly cut for you, thinly cut
- ½ lb baby bok choy ends trimmed and washed

- ½ tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Instructions
- In a large pan or wok filled three-quarters of the way with water, bring to boil. Once it comes to boil, add ramen noodles, and begin loosening with tongs. Once they are loosened, quickly strain and rinse under cold water. Do not boil them. Set aside.
- Back into your dry pan set over medium high heat, add oil. Then add yellow onion and cook until softened and slightly browned on edges. Next add green onions.
- Quickly add in beef and stir fry until beef is 25% cooked.
- Toss in bok choy and stir fry with beef. Cook until juices in the wok have evaporated, about 3-4 minutes.
