Introduction

This Asian-Style Beef and Vegetable Noodles dish combines tender ground beef, crunchy vegetables, and thin wheat noodles in a flavorful soy-based sauce. It’s a quick and satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights or anytime comfort food calls.

A close-up view inside a dark gray cooking pot shows cooked yellow noodles mixed well with small crumbled pieces of light brown ground meat, scattered bright green onion pieces, and small orange carrot chunks. The noodles have a smooth and slightly shiny texture, coated lightly with sauce, while the vegetables and meat create a varied texture throughout. The depth of the pot holds the mixture together, and the background has a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 oz. lean ground beef
1 stalk celery, chopped

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. minced garlic

¼ cup matchstick carrots
8 oz. thin wheat noodles (spaghetti)

1 tbsp. soy sauce
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. sugar

1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tbsp. rice cooking wine
1 tbsp. soy sauce (for finishing sauce)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the thin wheat noodles according to package directions until tender, then drain completely.
Step 2: In a deep skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef fully. Drain any excess grease.
Step 3: Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic, chopped celery, sliced red onion, and matchstick carrots. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, salt, and sugar. Sauté until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4: Add the cooked noodles into the skillet and toss well to combine with the meat and vegetables.
Step 5: In a small bowl, mix sesame oil, rice cooking wine, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Pour this sauce over the skillet mixture.
Step 6: Stir everything to coat evenly and simmer for 1 minute before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top before serving.
Swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or tofu for a lighter or vegetarian option.
Add a splash of chili sauce or fresh sliced chili to bring a spicy kick to the dish.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying out the noodles.
