This recipe is super comforting and combines tender ground beef with a sweet and savory peanut sauce. It's quick to prepare, making it perfect for a delightful dinner.
1: Add the beef to a skillet over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 8 minutes).
2: If there's a lot of excess fat, spoon most of it out.
3: Meanwhile, boil a pot of water for the ramen noodles.
4: Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the sauce ingredients (peanut butter, hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic).
5: Return the skillet to the heat and add in the red pepper.
6: Continue cooking for a few more minutes, stirring often, until the pepper is tender-crisp.
7: Add the noodles to the boiling water just as you add the red pepper into the skillet.
8: Once the noodles are done, add 4 tablespoons of the cooking water into the skillet prior to draining them.
9: Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet.
10: Toss well and season with extra salt & pepper if needed.
11: Top with scallions if desired.
12: Serve immediately.
