Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon fresh grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 8 oz noodles (lo mein, spaghetti, ramen, or rice noodles)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

  4. In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Pour sauce over beef and simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  6. Add noodles to the pan and toss to combine. Cook until everything is heated through.
  7. Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken as desired.
  • Add veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for extra nutrition.
  • Use zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
  • Adjust spice with more red pepper flakes or sriracha.
  • The beef mixture freezes well on its own.
