   • In a pot, heat some oil and sauté the minced garlic, sliced onion, and julienned ginger until they are soft and fragrant.

2. Cook the Beef:

   • Add the beef slices to the pot and cook until they change color. Add a small amount of water to help soften the beef.

3. Prepare the Broth:

   • Once the beef is tender, pour in the 500 ml of water. Bring to a boil and check the tenderness of the beef. If it’s not tender enough and the water has reduced, you can add more water as needed.
   • Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, broth powder, black pepper, chili powder, Himalayan salt, and Stevia. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

4. Prepare the Noodles:

   • For the Classic Version: Cook the instant noodles according to the package instructions and set aside.
   • For the Keto-Friendly Version: Drain the shirataki noodles from their packaging, rinse with hot water, and drain again. Set aside.

5. Assemble the Ramen:

   • Place both types of noodles in separate bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles.
   • Arrange the beef slices and boiled egg halves on top.
   • Garnish with white sesame seeds, green onions, and nori.
