Equipment

Skillet
Water pot

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 large white onion thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1- inch piece ginger grated
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced thinly
  • 2 cups broccoli florets diced
  • 3/4 cup carrots cut into matchsticks
  • 3 packages instant ramen noodles seasoning packets discarded

FOR THE SAUCE:

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

FOR SERVING:

  • Green onion minced
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: cornstarch, soy sauce, chicken broth, sesame oil, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, and black pepper. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook until it becomes soft, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the ginger and garlic. Stir briefly for about 15 seconds, then push them to the side of the skillet.
  • Increase the heat to high, then add the ground beef to the pan. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, and then use a wooden spoon or spatula to break apart the meat and cook until it is no longer pink.
  • While the beef is cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook them 1 1/2 minutes less than the package directions indicate. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of oil. Set aside.
  • Reduce the skillet heat to medium-high, then add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Let them cook until they become crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir the sauce one more time, then add it to the skillet along with the ramen noodles.
  • Cook and toss everything together with tongs until the sauce has thickened and coated everything, taking approximately 2-4 minutes.
  • To serve, sprinkle green onion and sesame seeds over the dish. Enjoy!
