Beef and Broccoli Ramen Bowls

This uses plain ramen noodles without the seasoning packet, since the soy sauce and sesame oil already do the flavor work. It's a faster way to get that beef and broccoli combination into noodle form instead of over rice.

Ramen noodles cook in just a couple of minutes, which makes this one of the quicker noodle dishes I put together. Thin-sliced beef sears fast enough that the whole thing comes together in about the same time as the noodles.

Skipping the seasoning packet keeps the sodium more reasonable, since the soy sauce and aromatics already bring plenty of flavor on their own. Broccoli adds crunch against the soft noodles.

The recipe card has the full ingredient breakdown and cook time for all ten portions. Let everything cool before sealing the containers, then refrigerate what you'll eat within four days and freeze the rest. This ramen bowl is a faster noodle option than my other beef dishes.
