A quick and delicious ground beef noodle stir-fry that brings together savory soy sauce, fragrant garlic and ginger, and tender noodles for a satisfying meal ready in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger, grated
Sauces and Seasonings
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Main Component
- 2 cups cooked noodles (such as ramen or spaghetti)
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the beef, sautéing for about 1 minute until the garlic and ginger become fragrant.
- Create the Sauce: Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld.
- Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together so the noodles are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the dish and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can use any type of noodles you prefer—ramen, spaghetti, or even rice noodles work well.
- For a spicier version, add chili flakes or a dash of sriracha with the sauces.
- To make this a one-pan meal, cook the noodles separately first; draining well before adding to the beef mixture helps keep the dish from getting soggy.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
