Ingredients
- 250 gram Ground beef Minced beef
- 140 gram Dried Noodles Pasta or a choice of noodles ( 2 servings )
- 1 Onion Diced
- 1 Bell pepper Diced
- 1-2 Spring onions Scallions, cut thin slices
- 2-3 tbsp Cooking oil
Seasonings
- 2 tbsp Regular soy sauce
- 1 tsp Dark soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 2 tsp Shao Xing wine Or Mirin ( optional )
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Chilli oil ( optional )
- 1 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and cook the noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Drain, reserving some pasta water, and set aside.
- While the noodles cook, heat a bit of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, ginger, and sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and stir until it starts to brown, breaking up any large chunks as it cooks.
- Pour in regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a splash of cooking wine. Combine well to evenly coat the ground beef and allow it to cook through, blending the flavours.
- Add the cooked noodles to the pan, tossing everything together. If the mixture seems thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
- Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with black pepper, spring onions, and chilli oil to taste. Mix and serve warm.
Notes
- Vegetarian oyster sauce can be used as a substitute, or you can use hoisin sauce for a slightly sweeter taste.
- Substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, mashed tofu, mushroom, or plant-based meat if preferred.
- If you have Shaoxing wine, use it or substitute it with Japanese mirin, dry sherry, or rice vinegar.
- Sesame oil adds a nutty aroma; drizzle a bit as a finishing touch. If unavailable, leave it out or substitute it with a few toasted sesame seeds.
