    🥘 ingredients

    You will need:

    • zucchini
    • carrots
    • scallions
    • bean sprouts
    • beef
    • eggs
    • coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
    • mirin
    • rice vinegar
    • garlic cloves
    • ginger

    🔪 instructions

    1. Mix all the ingredients for the broth in a pot and bring to a boil.
    2. Cook the beef to medium rare. For a ½” steak, that would be about 4 minutes per side. When done, remove from the pan, cover and set aside.
    3. Add the carrot ribbons, bean sprouts and scallions to the boiling broth. Let it simmer until the carrots are done to your preference - about 5 minutes.
    4. Add the zucchini noodles and continue to simmer for another 2 minutes.
    5. When you’re ready to serve, slice the beef thinly.
    6. Now, dish up the vegetables and broth. Top with the beef, boiled egg and fresh cilantro. Add a drizzle of Sriracha if you like it!

    💭 faq

    are ramen noodles healthy?

    If you're having microwave ramen that's basically just junk food, then no, it's not healthy. If you're making ramen from scratch at home using fresh and clean ingredients, then yes, it can be very healthy!

    how to make healthy beef ramen?

    While you sear your beef, heat all your vegetables with the broth in a pot next to it. Once the vegetables are cooked to your desired level, dump in the beef and serve it immediately.

      I have made this so many times it is now part of the family meal rotation. I wanted to add that I substitute apple cider vinegar for the rice wine vinegar and for some reason it makes it taste so much better. Thanks for this!!

      Oriental is a much more beautiful and descriptive word than "Asian." Russians are Asian for crying out loud. This PC garbage is created by people who like to lord it over others and tell them what to say, what to write, and, most of all, how to think. No thanks. When I visit Japan, China, or Korea, I visit the Orient, not just Asia.

        Maybe focus on the recipe instead of the verbiage. Clearly anyone can choose to be offended and tell people what to say ... pc or otherwise 😉

      Some of you don't have a clue, bet you're snowflakes.... Asia could be India, Sri Lanka, whilst this food is definitely from there. It's from the Orient, hence the term "Oriental" was indeed properly used and in no means slanderous. Wake up. And authentically oriental at that!

      Sooooo sooo good. Wish I had done the steak a little different to make it more tender. I'm such a noodle fanatic- and this hit the spot!

      I really want to make this recipe. I am not sure what makes the broth. How much beef broth do you use and what are the ingerdients that make up the broth?

        Hi Kristin,
        If you look carefully at the recipe card, I separated the ingredients that make up the broth 🙂
        It's:
        BROTH
        6 cups • water
        1/2 cup • soy sauce
        3 tbsp • mirrin (found in the oriental section of your grocery store)
        2 tbsp • rice vinegar
        2 cloves • garlic (minced)
        1/4 tsp • ginger (minced)

        You can also add a bit of Sake and of course Sriracha or your hot sauce of choice!

      Hi there, the recipe is great, thanks for showing how to use zoodles in a soup. I'd like to point out that mirin is spelt with 1 R. Also "oriental" is not a good look, you can easily change that to Asian section of the grocery store.

        The recipe looks delicious and I can't wait to try it!

        Just wanted to confirm that "oriental" is no longer considered an appropriate term to use for Asian culture. It is better to use the term "Asian section of the grocery store" instead.

        Are we (America folk) doing away with the Orient as well?

        Hi Patty 🙂 Unfortunately I unable to provide nutritional information on my recipes as I am not a registered dietitian/nutritionist. There are lots of website you'll be able to find with through a google search that allows you to enter a recipe and then gives you an estimate of the calories.
