Equipment
- 1 large skillet or wok
- 1 cooking spoon or spatula
- 1 pot for boiling noodles
- 1 strainer
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces egg noodles or your choice of noodles.
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas or green beans
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- 2 green onions, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Next, add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula, which should take around 5-7 minutes.
- Once the beef is browned, add the sliced bell pepper and snap peas (or green beans), cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Pour this sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine. Let it cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and ingredients. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve garnished with chopped green onions.
Notes
For a spicier version, consider adding red pepper flakes or some chili garlic sauce to the dish.
You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots or broccoli for added nutrition.
