This is a quick recipe, though no 99¢ just-add-water ramen. Slurpy, soupy noodles, spicy chili oil, fresh greens, gooey soft-boiled eggs, umami-y nori, fresh black pepper. Who doesn’t crave noodles? I’m pretty sure this is universal and nothing else must be said.

Directions
Chili Oil
- Step 1
For the chili oil, heat oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the chili flakes and chilis and continue to heat for about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Transfer the mix to a glass bottle and keep in a cool, dark place. Over time, the oil will become increasingly redder and hotter.
Broth + Ramen
- Step 1
For the broth, heat the beef stock with the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot over medium heat until the sugar is diluted.
- Step 2
In a another pan, brown the steak over medium-high heat to desired doneness. Remember: the beef will continue to cook slightly when placed in the hot broth. Set aside to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice as thinly as possible.
- Step 3
To assemble the ramen, ladle broth in a bowl, then add noodles. Top with sprouts, a halved egg, scallions, nori, sliced beef, chili oil, and black pepper.
