Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 blend recommended
  • 8 oz ramen noodles discard seasoning packet
  • 4 cups beef broth low-sodium preferred

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a large skillet or pot, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Stir in baby spinach (if using) and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
  6. Remove from heat. Divide among bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra heat, add a drizzle of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
