Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) sesame oil
  • 3 cloves (9g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp (2g) fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) sriracha
  • 1 tsp (3g) cornstarch
  • 8 oz (225g) ramen noodles
  • 2 tbsp (16g) toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 stalks (30g) green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil

Instructions:

  1. Heat 1 tbsp (15ml) of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef in an even layer and sear undisturbed for 3 minutes to create a mahogany crust. Break the beef apart and cook until browned, then stir in minced garlic and grated ginger for 60 seconds.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, and cornstarch.
  3. Pour the sauce over the browned beef and add the pre-boiled noodles. Toss continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy coating.
  4. Remove from heat. Drizzle with 1 tsp (5ml) of toasted sesame oil, fold in sliced green onions, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
