If you are looking for a quick dinner that actually tastes amazing, this chili crisp beef ramen is exactly what you need. It hits that perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors that keep everyone coming back for seconds, and the best part is that everything cooks right in one skillet. It is truly a lifesaver on busy weeknights.

You can easily customize this by swapping the beef for ground turkey or chicken if you prefer. I find that using a large skillet with a lid is the secret to getting the noodles perfectly tender while the sauce reduces into a nice glaze. If the noodles look a little dry, just splash in an extra tablespoon of broth and keep stirring.

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 2 tablespoons chili crisp
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon fresh ginger paste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
10 ounces packaged ramen noodles, seasoning packet removed
2 cups beef broth, plus more if needed
Sliced green onions for garnish
Extra chili crisp for garnish

Instructions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the ground beef. Cook and crumble the meat for 5 to 7 minutes until it is fully browned.
2
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, chili crisp, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger paste, and cornstarch.
4
Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked beef and let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
5
Place the ramen noodles into the skillet and pour the beef broth over them. Cover the pan with a lid to steam the noodles for a few minutes.
6
Stir the mixture occasionally until the noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened nicely. Add a little extra broth if the pan looks too dry.
7
Serve hot with a garnish of sliced green onions and a little extra chili crisp on top.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to eat, simply reheat the noodles in the microwave until they are warmed through.
