Gochujang Ramen Noodles Recipe 

Prep: 5 min
Cook: 10 min
Total: 15 min

Ingredients

  • 2oz Ramen noodles, dry
    • brown rice millet noodles
    • a large pack of Ramen noodles
  • 8oz 90% lean ground beef
    • 93% lean ground turkey
  • 2 teaspoons white pepper (optional)
  • 2 green onion stalks, chopped
Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Gochujang chili paste
    • sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
    • gluten free tamari
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
    • maple or agave
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • white vinegar
  • 1oz water
    • add more or less as needed
  • 2 cups asparagus spears chopped

Steps

Step 1

Boil water, add ramen noodles, and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.  Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Mix together ingredients for the sauce and season to taste according to your liking. Set aside. Be mindful of ingredients that are calorie dense like sesame oil and honey, and the paste and soy sauce that are high in sodium.

Step 3

Set a nonstick wok on high heat.  Once hot, spray with oil and add the beef.  Sprinkle in pepper and add green onion as you chop it up as it cooks, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the asparagus and toss together for 1 minute.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low or remove from the heat if the wok is too hot.  Add the noodles and pour in the sauce.  I like to use tongs to fold everything together.

CAUTION: this recipe is particularly high in sodium because of the gochujang paste and soy sauce.  If you are following a lower sodium diet, or are not active, I recommend removing the soy sauce or even skipping this recipe.
