Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 green onions, chopped
Noodles and Vegetables:
- 9 ounces ramen noodles
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 cup bok choy, shredded
- 1 large carrot, shredded
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Boil ramen noodles in rapidly bubbling water for 3-4 minutes until perfectly tender, ensuring they maintain a slight bite. Drain thoroughly and reserve.
- Ignite a wok with high-temperature cooking oil, creating an intense heat environment. Introduce beef, allowing it to develop a deep caramelized crust without movement for 4-5 minutes, then dynamically flip and redistribute for even charring.
- Introduce diced onions to the sizzling wok, sautéing for 45-60 seconds until translucent. Quickly incorporate minced garlic, releasing its aromatic essence for 20-30 seconds. Fold in sliced bok choy and julienned carrots, cooking until edges soften and vegetables maintain a crisp texture.
- Cascade reserved noodles into the wok, immediately drizzling with oyster sauce, rich hoisin, savory soy sauce, tangy rice vinegar, and fragrant sesame oil. Vigorously toss ingredients, ensuring every strand becomes thoroughly coated with the complex sauce blend.
- Elevate the dish’s visual appeal and flavor profile by sprinkling freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds across the surface, creating a vibrant, textural garnish before serving immediately.
Notes
- Toast sesame seeds before sprinkling to enhance their nutty flavor and provide extra crunch to the dish.
- Use high heat and avoid overcrowding the wok to achieve perfect charred beef with crispy edges.
- Substitute gluten-free tamari for soy sauce and use rice noodles to make this recipe celiac-friendly.
- Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the stir-fry.
