Notes

You can substitute chicken broth for a lighter flavor or use stew meat or tofu for variations. If you need a quicker option, consider using dried ramen instead of fresh noodles.
Store leftovers separately: keep the broth and beef apart from the noodles to avoid sogginess. Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 3 days, or freeze without noodles for a longer shelf life.
Enhance the final dish with a drizzle of chili oil for an extra kick!
