Ingredients

Scale

Proteins & Oils

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • ½ pound ground beef

Flavorings & Sauces

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Main Ingredients

  • 6 ounces ramen noodles (or other instant noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the ramen or other instant noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the beef: Heat the peanut oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is slightly browned and cooked through.
  3. Add aromatics and sauces: Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, then add the soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Stir-fry for about 15 seconds to combine the flavors well.
  4. Combine noodles and seasonings: Add the oyster sauce, rice vinegar, cooked noodles, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly. If the mixture seems too dry, add ¼ cup of water to loosen the sauce and help distribute flavors evenly.
  5. Finish and serve: Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for a bit of heat. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
  • For gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
  • If you like more vegetables, consider adding sliced bell peppers or snap peas along with the green onions.
  • Using freshly grated ginger enhances the flavor compared to powdered ginger.
