Description
A comforting and filling dish of savory ground beef and creamy tahini, perfect for a quick dinner that’s easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz ground beef
- 8 oz dried Chinese noodles (or spaghetti)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp chili oil (or more to taste)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil for the noodles. Prep the garlic, ginger, green onions, and sauces.
- Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and drizzle with sesame oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef for 5–7 minutes until cooked through, draining excess fat if needed.
- Push beef aside and sauté the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger together for 30–60 seconds.
- Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, and sugar to the skillet. Stir and let simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Lower heat and stir in chicken broth and tahini until smooth.
- Add drained noodles to the skillet and toss to coat. Heat for an additional 1–2 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and stir in half of the green onion greens.
- Serve in bowls, garnished with remaining green onion greens, extra chili oil, and sesame seeds or peanuts if desired.
Notes
Cook the noodles al dente to prevent them from becoming mushy. Adjust chili oil to your spice preference.
