Ingredients
  

For the Noodles

  • 3 3 oz. packages of ramen noodles (spice packets discarded)
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced (about 3-4 cloves) the best garlic chopper!
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 cups broccoli florets

For the Stir Fry Sauce

  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup low sodium beef broth (or water)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce or hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar cooking sherry, mirin or Chinese cooking wine are also good
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • hot sauce, green onions, sesame seeds to finish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles: Place ramen noodles in boiling water for about 1 minute, stirring them often to break them apart. Noodles should be a bit underdone, since they will continue to cook in the pan later. Drain and rinse noodles in cool water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce; set aside.
  • Cook the meat: In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the ground beef. Cook the meat for 2-3 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Pro Tip: Using a potato masher toward the end of cooking gets the meat broken up nice and fine!
  • Season: Add garlic powder, onion powder and fresh garlic. Stir to combine and cook 1-2 minutes more.
  • Add veggies: Add carrots and broccoli florets and cook 30-60 seconds just until the broccoli turns bright green.
  • Finish: Add the cooked noodles and the sauce. Toss with tongs until noodles are well-coated with the sauce and heated through. Top with green onions, sesame seeds and hot sauce (optional) and serve right away!
