Instant Pot Ram-Don (from the film "Parasite")

Step 1

Add the butter to the Instant Pot, hit Sauté and Adjust so it’s on the More or High setting. Once heated, add the sirloin and sauté for 3-5 minutes until fully cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl for the time being. Leave the remaining juices from the meat in the pot.

Step 2

Pour the water in the pot and then place all of the noodle cakes from the Chapagetti and Neoguri packages in the pot (but leave all the packets that come with each package out – we’ll add those later). And don’t worry – it’s okay that not all the noodle cakes will be covered by the water. Given this is packaged ramen noodles, they will cook perfectly.

Step 3

Secure the lid, hit Keep Warm/Cancel and then hit Manual or Pressure Cook at high pressure for 0 (yes, zero) minutes. (NOTE: If your Instant Pot will only allow a minimum of 1 minute, that’s fine too). Quick release when done. The noodles should be cooked perfectly and there should still be some liquid in the pot.

Step 4

Stir up the noodles and then add in all the packets of the dry flakes and soup bases from both the Chapagetti and Neoguri (see the yellow “Jeffrey Sez” section on this regarding reducing some of the salt intensity). Give everything a good stir until the noodles have become a rich, brown color and look completely irresistible.

Step 5

Toss in the cooked sirloin and then add in the small oil packets from the Chapagetti last. Give everything a final stir and serve immediately as Ram Don tastes best when served within minutes after cooking.
