Spicy Garlic Beef Noodles

Instructions

1. Cook the Noodles: Prepare noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat if needed.
3. Add the Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, chili garlic sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch slurry.
5. Combine Sauce and Beef: Pour the sauce into the beef mixture and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Add the Noodles: Toss the cooked noodles and chopped green onions into the skillet. Stir well until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
7. Serve: Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Adjust the spice level: Add more or less chili garlic sauce to suit your heat preference.
• Add vegetables: Stir in bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for extra crunch and color.
• Use different proteins: Substitute ground chicken, turkey, or pork for a delicious variation.
• Make it gluten-free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure your oyster and hoisin sauces are gluten-free.
