I had a pound of ground beef in the fridge and was really craving something Asian inspired so I came up with this super easy and quick Asian Beef & Noodles dish. It is pretty darn delicious friends! I love making these types of dishes at home because lets be honest while takeout can be delicious, it is usually so overly salted. A little bonus… you can actually get this made and on the dinner table faster then getting takeout! Yes it is that simple!!
I simply cooked some lean ground beef with a little oil and onions. Once that was cooked most of the way through, sprinkled in a little flour {to help thicken the sauce} then I added the Asian inspired sauce made of soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh garlic, brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes and a little water. Cook that until the garlic is fragrant and serve over chinese noodles. So yup, a delicious meal thrown together in just 15 minutes, does it get any easier then that!?
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 Tbsp chopped onion
- 1 Tbsp flour
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup water
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tsp light brown sugar
- a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 oz package Chinese noodles, cooked according to the instructions
- about a ½ cup of the water you cooked the noodles in
- chives or scallions for garnish
- In a small bowl stir together the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, garlic, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- In a saute pan over medium heat, add in the vegetable oil, onions and beef. Cook until cooked most of the way through. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat.
- Add in the sauce and the noodle cooking water and stir to coat. Cook for a few minutes until the garlic is nice and fragrant.
- Serve over the cooked noodles and garnish with scallion or chives.

I made this tonight. I added portabella mushrooms and napa cabbage to it. Very good. I was worried about the soy sauce making it too salty but it was perfect. Will be making this again.
