Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 ounces dry spaghetti noodles

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 large onion, halved and sliced

  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4.5 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 7 ounces fresh bean sprouts

  • 1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts

  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients
    Wash and chop all vegetables. Mince the garlic.

  • Boil the Noodles and Broccoli
    Break spaghetti noodles in half and cook according to package directions in salted water. Add the broccoli florets during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.

  • Brown the Beef
    In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the onion and celery until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess fat.

  • Add More Veggies
    Stir in the bell pepper, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and water chestnuts. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.

  • Combine and Season
    Add the drained noodles and broccoli to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, sugar, ground ginger, sriracha, and sesame oil (if using). Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.

  • Serve Hot
    Serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute ground chicken or turkey for the beef to lighten the dish.

  • Use lo mein noodles or ramen for a more traditional texture.

  • Add a splash of hoisin sauce or oyster sauce for extra depth.

  • Great for leftovers—reheats well for lunch the next day.
