Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 8 oz ramen noodles
- Sliced green onions, for serving
- Sesame seeds, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles (don’t add noodles yet).
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart until browned and cooked through.
- Add minced garlic and ground ginger to the beef. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Do not overcook. Drain and set aside.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together using tongs to combine evenly.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Do not overcook the ramen to keep the noodles from becoming mushy.
- Add more red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier dish.
- You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce and ramen for a gluten-free option.
