From the Test Kitchen

Chefs! We’re bringing you a series of recipes designed with ease of cooking and cleanup in mind, but without sacrificing the incredible flavors you’ve come to expect from a classic Blue Apron meal. Hearty ramen noodles are a Japanese comfort food staple perfect for pairing with umami-rich sauces like the combo of hoisin, soy sauce, sambal oelek, and more that we’re using in this dish. We’re topping it all with silky soft-boiled eggs and crunchy furikake for deliciously varied textures and flavors in every bite.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the mushrooms into bite-size pieces. Cut off and discard the root end of the bok choy; thinly slice.

2 Cook the eggs

Carefully add the eggs to the pot of boiling water and cook 7 minutes for soft-boiled, or until your desired degree of doneness. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cold water 30 seconds to 1 minute to stop the cooking process. When cool enough to handle, carefully peel the cooked eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

3 Make the sauce

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the vinegar, mirin, soy glaze, hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

4 Cook the beef

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

5 Cook the vegetables

In the pan of reserved fond, heat the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushroom pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Add the chopped bok choy and sautéed aromatics; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined and the vegetables are softened.

6 Cook the noodles

To the pot of boiling water used to cook the eggs, add the noodles, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking.

7 Finish & serve your dish

Add the cooked noodles, cooked beef, and sauce to the pan of cooked vegetables. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles and vegetables topped with the seasoned eggs. Garnish with the furikake. Enjoy!
