Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 pound ground beef (extra-lean preferred)
– 1 medium onion, sliced (white or yellow)
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup bok choy, shredded (can substitute with Napa cabbage, kale, or spinach)
– 1 large carrot, shredded or sliced thin
– 9 ounces ramen noodles (can substitute with udon, rice noodles, glass noodles, or soba)
– 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (can use equal parts dark soy sauce and hoisin as substitute)
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (can substitute oyster sauce with a small amount of brown sugar or honey)
– 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (regular soy sauce can be used alternatively)
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (regular white vinegar works too)
– 2 teaspoons sesame oil (regular or toasted)
– 3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
– 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
1-First: cook the ramen noodles as per the package instructions until they reach al dente texture, then drain and set them aside to keep them from getting too soft.
2-Next: heat the olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat; add the ground beef, spreading it out evenly, and cook without stirring for about 5 minutes until the juices evaporate and the bottom chars, then flip and toss it.
3-Add the sliced onion and cook for 1 minute, followed by the minced garlic, which should cook for another 30 seconds until it’s fragrant.
4-Incorporate the shredded bok choy and sliced carrot, stirring for about 1 minute until the carrots start to soften, then turn off the heat.
5-Mix in the cooked noodles along with the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil; toss everything together until it’s well combined.
6-Finally, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. For more ideas on pasta dishes, check out our garlicky chicken pasta recipe for a flavorful twist.
