(Optional) If using, add the thinly sliced beef and bok choy leaves to the same pot with the remaining hot noodle water. Cook briefly, about 1-2 minutes, until the beef is cooked through and the bok choy is slightly tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Gradually pour 4 cups of the hot reserved noodle water into the sauce mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to stir gently until the sauce transforms into a creamy, smooth broth. Adjust the amount of noodle water to achieve your desired broth consistency – less for a thicker, saucier ramen, more for a lighter, soupier broth.

Pour the creamy broth over the cooked noodles in the serving bowl(s). Toss the noodles gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the rich, spicy sauce.

(Optional) Garnish each serving with the blanched beef, soft-boiled egg halves, and bok choy leaves. Drizzle with chili oil for an extra kick, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
