Description
Spicy Korean Gochujang Beef Noodles is a flavorful dish that combines rice noodles with ground beef and a spicy gochujang sauce, topped with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces of rice noodles
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
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.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and snap peas to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Toss in the cooked rice noodles and stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a milder dish, reduce the amount of gochujang or substitute it with a less spicy chili paste.
- You can also add more vegetables like carrots or broccoli for extra nutrition and color.
