Ingredients
12 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti
1 lb ground beef
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 cup carrots, julienned
1 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup water
Instructions
1. Cook noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a large skillet or wok, brown ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
3. Add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add carrots and bell peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
5. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Pour over the beef and vegetables.
6. Toss in the cooked noodles and mix until everything is coated and the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Stir in chopped green onions and serve hot.
Notes
Use fresh lo mein noodles if available for the best texture.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Double the sauce if you prefer extra coating on your noodles.
