Instructions

1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
2. While the noodles are cooking, heat the sesame oil in a separate large pot over medium heat. Add the beef slices, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides. Once browned, remove the beef slices from the pot and set aside.
3. In the pot used to cook the beef, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until they release their aroma.
4. Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Add the julienned carrots, sliced mushrooms, and chopped green onions to the pot. Let them cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
6. Return the cooked ramen noodles and the browned beef slices to the pot. Add the baby spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until the noodles are heated through and the spinach has wilted.
7. Ladle the beef ramen into individual bowls. Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg, cut in half, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
8. Serve this Authentic Beef Ramen hot, and savour every spoonful of this comforting, hearty dish.
