Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Boil a kettle
  • Pull out 2 large saucepans, a sieve & a measuring jug

Prep & sizzle

  • Heat a large saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat
  • Once hot, add the beef and cook for 8 mins, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the mushrooms, cabbage and nori. Roughly chop the coriander

Simmer the soup

  • Reheat the saucepan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mushrooms and cabbage and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the gochujang and ginger & garlic paste and cook for 1 min
  • Add 1l boiling water, the cooked beef strips, tamari and half the nori. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat

Time to noodle

  • Meanwhile, bring the other large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked
  • Drain, then rinse under cold water

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Serve the noodles into bowls, then pour the soup over the top. Garnish with the coriander and remaining nori
