Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large carrot julienned
- 1 red bell pepper julienned
- 4 scallions chopped (greens and whites)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2¾ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoons sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 2 packages instant ramen flavor pack discarded
Instructions
- Cook the beef. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, crumbling it with a wooden spoon as you go. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the pan. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the grease.
- Saute the veggies. Add the carrot, bell pepper, and the white parts of the scallions to the pan. Saute until softened, and then add the garlic. Saute for 20 seconds or until fragrant. Turn the heat off and set aside.
- Make the cooking broth. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and sweet chili sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to low.
- Cook the noodles. Add the ramen to the saucepan and turn it in the sauce until the noodles start to soften. Continue until the noodles are cooked through. Add more broth if needed.
- Put it all together. Return the beef to the skillet with the sauteed veggies. Turn the heat to medium and add the noodles. Stir until everything is well combined and the beef and veggies are heated through.
- Serve. Serve warm garnished with the greens of the scallions.
