Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces (226 grams) noodles (egg noodles, rice noodles, or spaghetti)
Vegetables:
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup bell peppers (sliced)
- 1/2 cup carrots (sliced thin)
- Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Submerge noodles in rapidly boiling water for 3-4 minutes until al dente, then immediately transfer to cold water to halt cooking. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high temperature, introducing ground beef and fragmenting into small crumbles. Sear meat for 5-6 minutes until deeply browned and caramelized.
- Introduce finely diced onions and crushed garlic into the sizzling meat mixture. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing aromatics to release their fragrant essence.
- Incorporate vibrant bell peppers and julienned carrots into the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, maintaining vegetable’s crisp texture and bright color.
- Craft sauce by whisking together umami-rich soy sauce, caramelizing brown sugar, and fiery red pepper flakes in a separate vessel.
- Cascade sauce over meat and vegetable medley, thoroughly coating each ingredient. Allow sauce to simmer and intensify flavors for 2 minutes.
- Gently fold prepared noodles into the skillet, ensuring uniform distribution of sauce and ingredients. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Extinguish flame and garnish with delicately sliced green onions. Serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Customize Noodle Varieties: Swap traditional wheat noodles with rice noodles or gluten-free alternatives for dietary preferences and enhanced texture.
- Protein Flexibility: Replace ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles for leaner or vegetarian options.
- Spice Control: Adjust red pepper flakes to personalize heat levels, ranging from mild to fiery depending on individual taste preferences.
- Vegetable Creativity: Experiment with additional seasonal vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or snap peas to boost nutritional value and create unique flavor combinations.
