  • Author: Sarah White

  • Yield: 2–3 servings

Description

Spicy, savory noodles with ground beef and creamy sesame sauce that deliver bold, irresistible flavors in every bite.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz ground beef

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 2 tsp rice vinegar

  • 2 tbsp sesame paste or peanut butter

  • 2 tbsp chili oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 8 oz fresh or dried noodles

  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • 2 tbsp crushed peanuts

  • Optional extra chili oil for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook noodles until al dente. Drain and toss lightly with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, chili oil, garlic, ginger, and sugar until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground beef until browned and slightly crispy, stirring occasionally. Stir in soy sauce and rice vinegar while cooking.

  4. Divide noodles into serving bowls and pour sauce over them, tossing to coat evenly.

  5. Top with the cooked ground beef, chopped green onions, and crushed peanuts. Drizzle extra chili oil if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce. Pair with stir-fried vegetables or a light cucumber salad.
