Spicy Beef Ramen

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (3 ounce) package beef-flavored ramen noodles
  • 1 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 0.5 cup frozen shelled edamame
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce, or more to taste
  • 1 (4 ounce) beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Method

  1. Place the water in a large saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir in the ramen noodles and the seasoning packet, cooking for 1 minute. Next, add the mushrooms, edamame, soy sauce and Sriracha, continuing to cook for 1 more minute.
  2. Introduce the sliced sirloin to the pan. Cook the meat for 1 to 2 minutes until it is firm and the centre is a reddish-pink, juicy colour. For medium-rare, an instant-read thermometer should show 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
  3. Divide the finished soup between two bowls. Top with the chopped cilantro and add extra Sriracha according to your preference.
