Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound ground beef
Noodles
- 2 packages instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
Liquids and Sauces
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Spices and Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Vegetables
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Garnish
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed to keep the dish from being too oily.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the shredded carrots and chopped bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until they start to soften but still retain some crunch.
- Add liquid and sauces: Stir in the beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring the mixture to a simmer to combine flavors.
- Add ramen noodles: Break the ramen noodles into pieces and add them to the skillet. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Finish with green onions and serve: Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot for a delicious meal.
Notes
- Add frozen peas, broccoli, or spinach for extra vegetables and nutrition.
- For a spicy kick, stir in a teaspoon of sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter protein option.
