Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Noodles

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 6 ounces ramen noodles (2 packages, seasoning packets discarded)

Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 pound broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Other

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Sliced green onions for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ramen Noodles: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha (if using), minced garlic, and minced ginger. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the sauce mixture until smooth.
  3. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease, then remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, heat the sesame oil. Add the chopped onions, red bell peppers, shredded carrots, and broccoli florets. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Combine Ingredients and Finish: Return the cooked ground beef and ramen noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and heated through. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packets from ramen noodles as they typically contain high amounts of sodium and do not complement the stir-fry flavors.
  • Sriracha is optional and can be adjusted or omitted depending on spice preference.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free ramen noodles.
  • Be careful not to overcook the vegetables to maintain their crunch and vibrant color.
  • If preferred, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
