Description

This quick and easy one-pan ramen noodle recipe combines lean ground beef, fresh vegetables, and flavorful broth into a comforting dish that’s ready in just 15 minutes. Perfect for a weeknight dinner, it uses simple ingredients and minimal cleanup while delivering satisfying taste and texture.


Ingredients

Meat and Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Broth and Sauce

  • ¼ cup low-sodium tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar

Noodles and Vegetables

  • 2 (3-oz) packages ramen noodles, flavoring packets discarded or saved for another use
  • 9 oz slaw mix (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots


Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Heat a large, high-sided skillet or heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and ground beef, breaking the meat into small pieces. Cook for about 3 minutes until beginning to brown. Season with kosher salt and add minced garlic; continue cooking and stirring for another 2-3 minutes until beef is fully cooked and no longer pink.
  2. Add sauce and simmer: Pour in the tamari, chicken stock, and brown sugar. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a strong simmer. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping the noodles occasionally to coat evenly and allow them to soften but not fully cook.
  3. Combine vegetables and finish cooking: Mix in the slaw mix and shredded carrots, stirring to combine everything. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes until noodles are fully cooked and vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally add your favorite toppings such as sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or a soft-boiled egg for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium tamari or soy sauce to control saltiness.
  • Flavor packets from the ramen noodles can be saved for later use or discarded.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with tofu and use vegetable stock.
  • If you prefer spicier ramen, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha when simmering the broth.
  • Do not overcook noodles to avoid mushy texture; they should be tender but firm.
