Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger, grated
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Noodles and Garnish
- 2 cups cooked noodles (such as ramen or spaghetti)
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil and brown beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the sesame oil. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté garlic and ginger: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the beef and sauté for about 1 minute until the mixture is fragrant and aromatic, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add sauce and simmer: Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef well.
- Toss in noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce and beef mixture.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for a fresh, crisp finish and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use any type of cooked noodles you prefer such as ramen, spaghetti, or egg noodles.
- Adjust soy sauce and hoisin sauce quantities to suit your taste and dietary needs.
- For a spicier version, add chili flakes or sriracha during step 3.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a simple cucumber salad for balance.
