Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 3 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet)

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 carrot, julienned or thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the ramen noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions (about 3 minutes). Drain the noodles and set them aside.

  • Cook the ground beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes or until browned. Drain any excess fat.

  • Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  • Add the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine.

  • Combine with the noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to combine everything and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to allow the noodles to absorb the sauce.

  • Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, or snap peas for more nutrition and flavor.

  • Spicy Version: Add a tablespoon of sriracha or more red pepper flakes for extra heat.

  • Protein Swap: Substitute ground turkey, chicken, or tofu for the ground beef to customize the dish to your preference.

  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free ramen noodles for a gluten-free option.
