Ingredients
Scale
- Olive oil
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 carrots, sliced
- Instant ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Cook the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Stir in the ginger and garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Cook the Noodles: Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions but reduce the cooking time by 1.5 minutes. Drain and toss with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrots to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine Everything: Add the prepared sauce and the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and heat through.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For extra spice, increase the amount of Sriracha sauce to taste.
