Ingredients
For the Beef and Noodles:
-
1 lb ground beef (or chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
-
12 oz noodles (egg noodles, rice noodles, udon, or soba)
-
1 bell pepper (sliced)
-
1 carrot (sliced)
-
1 onion (sliced)
-
1 cup bok choy (chopped)
-
1/2 cup snap peas (optional)
For the Sauce:
-
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp rice vinegar
-
2 cloves garlic (minced)
-
1 tbsp ginger (grated)
-
1 tbsp sesame oil
-
1 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
-
Heat sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove the beef and set aside.
-
In the same pan, stir-fry the vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, onions, bok choy, and snap peas) for about 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp.
-
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
-
In a bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the sauce.
-
Add the beef back to the pan with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the sauce over everything. Toss well to coat.
-
Let everything cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure it’s all heated through. Serve with optional chili flakes or garnishes like sesame seeds or cilantro.
Notes
Swap the beef for tofu or shrimp for a different protein.
For a gluten-free version, use rice noodles and gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
