Ingredient Notes

This meal comes together in a flash and requires minimal chopping (just a little onion!)

• Ground Beef: we use an 80% lean, 20% fat ground beef. Feel free to swap with a different protein if you prefer!
• Noodles: feel free to use your favorite ramen, egg noodles, rice noodles, instant noodles with packets discarded, etc.
• Mirin: mirin is a Japanese sweet cooking wine. If you'd like to substitute it with something else, I recommend using a Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry.
• Fresh ginger and garlic: Using fresh ingredients where you can will really add to the overall dish. Use garlic powder in place of fresh garlic, if necessary.

Step by Step Directions

1. Mix the sauce together in a small bowl or mason jar. Whisk to combine.
2. Heat sesame oil and vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and stir.
3. Add in the ground beef and cook until no longer pink.
4. Add the sauce, followed by the green onions. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat while you cook the noodles. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as desired.
5. Serve with noodles of choice. (We went with egg noodles)

Tips and Variations

• Instead of ground beef, use your favorite ground meat.
• As mentioned above, use any instant noodle, rice or egg noodle or rice you prefer. This meal has options!
• Serve with roasted broccoli or your favorite veggies.
• Mix the sauce in advance so when you're ready to make the meal, it can come together in a 15 minutes or less.
• Mix the beef and the noodles together in the same pan to get the noodles nice and saucey!
• Make this for meal prep to enjoy throughout the week.
