Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • small pot
  • measuring cup

Ingredients
  

Sticky sesame sauce beef

  • ⅔ cup coconut aminos
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon red chili paste taste before adding
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef

Bowls

  • 2.8 ounces uncooked ramen
  • 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 cups leafy spinach
  • chopped scallions for garnish
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the sauce

  • In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, ground ginger, sesame oil, chili paste, and garlic until smooth. This is your flavor bomb. Set aside.

Cook beef

  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add a splash of oil if needed.
  • Add the ground beef and break it up as it browns. Cook for about 3–5 minutes until mostly cooked through.

Combine sauce and beef

  • Once the beef is browned, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in your sauce. Stir it all together and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.

Cook noodles

  • While the beef simmers, bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook your ramen noodles per the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Add veggies

  • Add the sliced bell pepper and leafy spinach directly into the skillet with the beef and sauce. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the peppers soften and the spinach wilts.

Assemble

  • Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet and mix everything together until noodles are fully coated in the sauce.

Garnish and serve

  • Top your bowls with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Store in fridge for 5 days. Reheat in skillet or microwave. Add a splash of broth if it needs to be broken up.
