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.
