(If you are using fresh bean sprouts): Thoroughly rinse then lightly salt and pepper the bean sprouts. Set it aside.
In a large pot, brown the meat breaking it up into small pieces, over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink.
Add all the ramen broth ingredients to the browned meat. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, cook the ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain the noodles and divide them into individual portions into the serving bowls.
Pour the broth over noodles. Add green onions and bean sprouts (you can rinse the salt off if desired). Serve immediately.
