Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil - or other oil
  • 1 Tbsp ginger paste - or minced ginger
  • 10 oz. broccoli florets
  • 3 small carrots (120g) chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 small yellow onion (170g) chopped
  • 1 lb. 96/4 ground beef
  • 4-6 oz. rice noodles optional for serving
For the Sauce:
  • 3 garlic cloves minced - I used frozen
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (80g)
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar (36g)
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch (16g)
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil (15g)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  2. Cook rice noodles according to package directions if making.
  3. Meanwhile, add the oil to a wok or skillet and set to medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, carrots and onion and saute for 4-5 minutes or until they start to char and soften. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Remove from wok and set aside.
  4. Add the beef to the wok and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, crumbling as you go, until no longer pink.
  5. Pour the sauce over the beef and bring the sauce to a light simmer.
  6. Add the vegetables back to the wok. Toss everything to combine and continue to simmer for a few more minutes so the sauce can thicken some. Serve with rice noodles or enjoy as is. Divide into 4 bowls and enjoy!
