How to make Beef Ramen Stir Fry.
To begin creating your perfect Beef Ramen Noodle Stir Fry, you'll need to gather together your ingredients.
Start with great ramen noodles.
First and foremost, you will need your favorite pack of instant ramen noodles. Flavor-wise you can use whatever works best for you, but this recipe is definitely built for the Savory Beef Ramen from Mike's Mighty Good Craft Ramen. You can shop Savory Beef here.
Cook the noodles beforehand.
For this ramen hack to work, you'll need to cook the noodles beforehand and cool them down. This helps keep the noodles at the perfect texture for stir fry and keeps them from cooking further while you prep the meat and veggies.
Cook the noodles by themselves and save the seasoning packet for the recipe. Once the ramen noodles are al dente, strain them and rinse them in cool water to stop the cooking process.
Once cooled, you can dress the oils with a bit of vegetable oil or sesame oil to keep them from sticking.
Slice your flank steak and broccoli nice and thin.
When prepping the flank steak and broccoli for this ramen stir fry, you're going to want to keep thin when possible.
Thinly sliced beef and broccoli will sear quickly while keeping the pan nice and hot, helping create an incredible caramelized flavor in the finished dish.
Use the seasoning packet as a dry rub to build your sauce.
The seasoning packet included in every package of Mike's Mighty Good Craft Ramen is packed with insane levels of umami and rich, savory flavor.
While the Mike's Mighty Good Ramen seasoning packet is perfect for a brothy, beautiful bowl of ramen, it's a little excessive for this particular ramen hack.
To properly calibrate the flavor level in this dish, you need to use half of the seasoning packet as a dry rub for the beef itself and reserve the remaining half for the sauce. This helps spread the flavor level out among the ingredients and keeps the umami level in that mouth-watering sweet spot that will keep you coming back bite after bite.
Add the noodles to the pan and finish the stir fry with soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
Once you've cooked the beef and broccoli to perfection, it's time to add the noodles and start building your sauce.
Reduce the heat on your pan or wok and carefully add the cooked and cooled noodles, as well as your soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and the remaining seasoning packet.
Reduce the sauce and enjoy!
Once you've added the ramen noodles and sauce ingredients, all that's left to do is allow the sauce to reduce for a minute or so before tossing everything throughout and enjoying!
Garnish the stir fry with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions for an extra level of flavor!
