Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp ginger paste or 3 frozen cubes
- 10 oz. broccoli florets
- 3 small carrots (120g) chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 small yellow onion (170g) chopped
- 1 lb. lean ground beef I used 96/4
- cooked rice noodles optional for serving
For the Sauce:
- 3 garlic cloves minced (I used frozen)
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (80g)
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar (36g)
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch (16g)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil (15g)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Cook rice noodles according to package directions if making.
- Meanwhile, add the oil to a wok or skillet and set to medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, carrots and onion and saute for 4-5 minutes or until they start to char and soften. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Remove from wok and set aside.
- Add the beef to the wok and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, crumbling as you go, until no longer pink.
- Pour the sauce over the beef and bring the sauce to a light simmer.
- Add the vegetables back to the wok. Toss everything to combine and continue to simmer for a few more minutes so the sauce can thicken some. Serve with rice noodles or enjoy as is. Divide into 4 bowls and enjoy!
