Ingredients
Instructions
Gather all ingredients: lean ground beef, udon noodles, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, sesame seeds, and cornstarch slurry.
Cook udon noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the beef. Stir well and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly with the sauce. If the sauce is too thin, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute until thickened.
Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
For best results
- For extra protein, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- Make it gluten-free by using tamari and gluten-free udon noodles.
- Double the sauce if you like your noodles extra saucy.
Variations
- Add vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for more nutrients.
- Swap udon noodles for rice noodles or spaghetti for a different texture.
- Spice it up with a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha.
