Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 3-oz packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions chopped

For Serving

  • Gochugaru
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, peanut oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin, and water. Set aside.
  • Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the gochujang mixture and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water, and transfer the noodles to the skillet with the beef. If you want a thinner sauce, add some of the cooking water.
  • Add the green onions and toss to combine.
  • If desired, top with sesame seeds and gochugaru and serve.
