Equipment
Ingredients
Noodles
- 6 oz wheat noodles or your noodle of choice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
Beef
- 6 oz ground beef see note 1
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
Optional Garnishes
- Crispy garlic
- Scallions
Instructions
- Finely mince all of your garlic. Boil the noodles until one minute before al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Heat a pan with a little oil and add half of your minced garlic for 1 minute. Add the ground beef, break it apart, and cook for 2 minutes. Once the beef is about 80% done, add soy sauce, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, and sugar. Cook for another 3 minutes until the sauce thickens, then set aside.
- In the same pan, add more oil and sauté the other half of the minced garlic for 1 minute. Toss in the noodles along with dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, cooking until the noodles are evenly coated. Remove from heat.
- Place the noodles in a bowl and top with the beef. Garnish with crispy garlic and scallions.
Notes
(1) I used 90/10 ground beef, which is 90% lean ground beef and 10% fat, but any ratio works! I've used 80/20 ground beef which is even cheaper and more accessible!
