Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless short ribs (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- ⅓ cup mirin
- ⅔ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 4 packs of dried ramen noodles
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Soft boiled eggs
- Sliced green onions
- Bean sprouts
- Cilantro
- Toasted sesame seeds
Directions
- Season the short ribs with salt and pepper.
- In a dutch oven or large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the short ribs (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot). Brown the ribs on all sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).
- Once the ribs are cooked, remove them and set aside.
- Add the onions and saute until they begin to brown, roughly 3–minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour the chicken broth and soy sauce into the pot and bring to a boil. Add the short ribs back into the pot once it’s boiling, cover, and lower the heat to a simmer for 1.5–2 hours or until the ribs are tender. (Skim off any fat that rises to the top of the pot.)
- Once tender, remove the short ribs and shred them into large chunks on a cutting board.
- Add the water to the pot. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- In a separate saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the dried ramen noodles according to the package directions. Once done, drain the noodles and run under cold water to prevent them from cooking further.
- Assemble your ramen bowls by adding the noodles, meat, and then the broth. Drizzle the toasted sesame oil and add any other toppings you like. Enjoy!
