Ingredients
- 1 pound beef ribs, separated (cut between each bone)
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup (you can use molasses or honey here)
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (red pepper paste)
- 5 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Garnish and Finishing Ingredients:
- 3 packets beef ramen
- 3 soft boiled eggs
- 1 teaspoon seasame seeds, for garnish
- 3 tablespoons chili crisp oil
Instructions
- Add all of the sauce ingredients to a large dutch oven and stir to combine. Turn the heat to medium and allow the sauce to heat up. (If you do not like spicy food at all, substitute the gochujang with ketchup and omit the chili flakes.)
- In the meantime, rinse the beef ribs under cold running water. Gently massage each piece taking the time to feel for small bone fragments and remove any if found.
- Once all of the ribs have been cleaned, add them to the pot with the sauce and increase the heat to high.
- As the sauce and rib mixture comes to a boil, some foam will gather at the top. Use a spoon to scoop out the foam/scum and discard it.
- Once all of the foam has been removed, reduce the heat to simmer and place a lid on the pot.
- Simmer the spare ribs for 1 hour, checking at the 45 minute mark to stir.
- Remove the beef ribs from the pot and transfer them to a plate. Set aside.
- Next, increase the heat to high and add the ramen noodles to the pot. (Do not add the seasoning packets!)
- Boil the noodles for the length of time indicated on the packet or until they are done to your likeness.
- Transfer one portion of the noodles to a bowl. Ladle some of the broth into the bowl and top with 2-3 ribs, and a soft boiled egg.
- Garnish each bowl with a drizzle of chili crisp oil (optional) and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
