Ingredients
  

For the Beef

  • 450 g thinly sliced beef
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

For the Miso Broth

  • 6 cups beef or chicken stock
  • 3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

For the Miso Broth

  • 6 cups beef or chicken stock
  • 3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil, optional

For the Ramen

  • 4 portions ramen noodles
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup bok choy, chopped
  • ½ cup sweet corn
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into pieces

For Serving

  • Sesame seeds
  • Extra green onions
  • Chili oil or chili crisp, optional
  • Nori strips
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl.
  • Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. Toss well so the beef is evenly coated.
  • Add a teaspoon of sesame oil followed by the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 30–60 seconds, just until fragrant.
  • Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or sugar, and optional chili oil.
  • Place the miso paste in a small bowl.
  • Ladle some of the hot broth into the bowl and whisk until the miso is completely dissolved.
  • Avoid aggressively boiling the broth after adding the miso, as gentle heating helps preserve its flavor.
  • Cook for approximately 2–4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the slices, until the beef is cooked through and lightly browned.
  • Cook for approximately 3–5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still have some texture.
  • Cook the ramen noodles separately according to the package instructions.
  • Cooking the noodles separately helps prevent them from absorbing too much broth and becoming overly soft.
  • Pour the hot miso broth and vegetables over the noodles.
  • Finish with green onions, nori, sesame seeds, and chili oil if desired.
  • For the best experience, enjoy it with chopsticks and a large spoon so you can savor the noodles, broth, beef, and toppings together.

Notes

  • Choose tender beef: Thinly sliced sirloin, ribeye, or another tender cut works particularly well.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Thin slices cook very quickly.
  • Use good-quality miso: White or yellow miso provides a balanced flavor.
  • Dissolve miso separately: This prevents lumps and distributes the flavor evenly.
  • Don't aggressively boil the miso: Keep the broth at a gentle simmer after adding it.
  • Cook noodles separately: This helps maintain a clearer and more flavorful broth.
  • Adjust the salt: Miso and soy sauce both contain salt, so taste before adding additional seasoning.
  • Serve immediately: Ramen noodles continue absorbing broth as they sit.
