Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 packages of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (or mixed vegetables)
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the ramen noodles and frozen peas (or mixed vegetables) to the skillet. Stir to combine, making sure the noodles are submerged in the broth.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the broth has mostly absorbed.
- Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- You can add a boiled egg on top for extra protein and flavor.
- Feel free to swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of hoisin sauce or oyster sauce to the broth mixture.
