Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While the water heats, add the ground beef to a large skillet and heat to medium-high. Cook, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low.
- Combine the peanut butter, sweet chili sauce, hoisin, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, then add to the cooked beef and stir until combined. Add the red bell pepper, turn the heat back up to medium, and cook until the ramen noodles are done.
- When the water is boiling, add the ramen noodles and cook for 3 minutes, or until done. Scoop out a cup of the pasta water, then drain the noodles and add them to the skillet with the beef. Stir well, and add pasta water as needed to thin out the sauce so it coats all the noodles. Serve with scallions, peanuts, and sesame seeds and enjoy!
Notes
- The flavors can be customized in this recipe to suit your tastes. I go heavy with the sweet chili sauce because I love that heat at the end, but if you want a bolder peanut flavor, add more peanut butter!
- Because of the natural saltiness in a lot of the ingredients, I recommend going light with the soy sauce. Not just less soy sauce in general, but using either a low sodium variety or coconut aminos. It really helps balance the flavors.
