For example:

—> CORRECT! Because this is a simple action, it sounds natural to use “to begin”!

‼️You could say...
⭕️I embarked on a journey to make the perfect ramen
⭕️I began my journey making the perfect ramen.
Both sounds fine, because finding the perfect ramen usually takes time an effort to do. The first one just sounds a little more emotional.
