Tender ground beef, sweet caramelized onions, and a rich savory sauce coat every strand of noodles. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 onion, sliced
- 9oz ground beef
- 9oz dried noodles (or spaghetti)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp sugar (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles for about 6 minutes, or 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain and reserve some of the cooking water.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef (no oil needed) and cook until it changes color. Remove from the pan, leaving the rendered fat behind.
- Add the onion and cook until softened with lightly golden edges.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Return the ground beef to the pan. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp dark soy sauce, 1/4 tsp sugar (optional), and 100ml of the noodle cooking water. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Add the cooked noodles. If needed, add a little more noodle cooking water and toss until evenly coated.
- Add the chopped green onions, toss to combine, and serve immediately.
NOTE: Of course this will take longer than 10 minutes if you need to cook your noodles. It takes time to get the water to a rolling boil. It won't take long though. This is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
