Ingredients
1 cup beef broth
¾ cup chicken broth
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon hot sauce or sriracha
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 lb ground beef
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
1 tablespoon peanut oil or olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, sliced
½ cup carrots, julienned
1 red bell pepper, sliced
8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
2 cups shredded cabbage, optional
2½ tablespoons cornstarch
1 (3 oz) packet ramen noodles, seasoning packet discarded
3 green onions, sliced, for garnish
Toasted sesame seeds and/or roughly chopped peanuts, for garnish
Instructions
In a large measuring cup, whisk together the beef broth, chicken broth, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, hot sauce, and ground ginger. Set aside.
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the beef until browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
Turn off the heat and pour the wine into the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom and cook over medium heat until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
Add the oil and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced onions, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 5 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and shredded cabbage, if using, and cook for 3 more minutes.
Stir the cornstarch into the prepared sauce mixture, then pour it into the skillet. Bring to a boil to thicken the sauce, then reduce to a simmer.
Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook for just 1 minute until loosened. Drain immediately.
Add the drained noodles and cooked beef back into the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped peanuts. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef if you prefer a lighter version.
Use freshly shredded cabbage for extra crunch, or leave it out if you prefer a more classic ramen-style stir fry.
Adjust the hot sauce to your spice preference for a milder or spicier dish.
If you like it saucier, double the sauce ingredients and add gradually until your desired consistency is reached.
Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
