Ground Beef Noodles is a flavorful, quick stir-fry dish that combines savory ground beef with tender yakisoba noodles in a rich ginger-garlic soy sauce. Enhanced with hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and sesame seeds, this comforting meal comes together in just 30 minutes and serves four.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 Teaspoon cooking oil
  • 1 Pound lean ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 3 Cloves garlic (peeled and minced)

Sauce

  • 1/3 Cup soy sauce
  • ¼ Cup brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 Cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Noodles and Garnish

  • 1 Pound yakisoba noodles (cooked according to package directions, about 4 to 5 ounces dried)
  • 2 green onions (cut into 1-inch pieces with whites and greens separated)
  • 1 Teaspoon sesame seeds (toasted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Combine grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and hoisin sauce in a small bowl. Whisk to mix thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Preheat a large wok or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces using a wooden spoon or potato masher. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the beef is deeply browned and slightly crispy. Drain all but one tablespoon of fat from the skillet.
  3. Add More Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into 1 cup water to form a slurry. Add the white parts of the green onions and the prepared sauce to the skillet with beef. Toss well to coat the beef evenly.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Stir the cornstarch slurry again if it has settled and then add it to the skillet. Stir continuously and bring to a gentle boil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and darkens slightly.
  5. Mix in the Noodles: Add most of the green onion greens and the cooked yakisoba noodles into the skillet. Toss everything together gently and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the noodles are heated through and coated in the sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Serve the noodles hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and the remaining green onion greens.

Notes

  • Make sure to use lean ground beef (85/15) to reduce excess fat in the dish.
  • If you cannot find yakisoba noodles, substitute with ramen or other Asian-style wheat noodles.
  • Adjust the brown sugar in the sauce to your taste if you prefer a less sweet flavor.
  • Toasting the sesame seeds before garnishing enhances their nutty flavor.
  • Leftover noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
