Description
Firecracker Beef Noodle Bowls are a delicious and spicy dish featuring ground beef, rice noodles, and a variety of fresh vegetables, all tossed in a flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the red bell pepper, snap peas, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar. Pour this sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are heated through and well-coated with the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
- Add additional vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or zucchini for extra nutrition and color.
