Ingredients

  • 10 oz Ground Beef
  • 1/2 lb Fresh Ramen Noodles
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 10 oz Baby Bok Choy
  • 3 Tbsps Soy Glaze
  • 2 Tbsps Tahini
  • 1 Tbsp Vegetarian Ponzu Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Sambal Oelek
  • 3 Tbsps East Asian- Style Sautéed Aromatics
  • 1 tsp Black & White Sesame Seeds

Steps

1) Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

  • Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high.
  • Wash and dry the fresh produce.
  • Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic.
  • Cut off and discard the root endsof the bok choy; roughly chop.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, soy glaze, ponzu sauce, 2 tablespoons of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

2) Cook the beef & bok choy

  • In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot.
  • Add the beef and chopped garlic. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes, or until the beef is browned.
  • Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil.
  • Using a spoon, move the beef to one side of the pan.
  • Add the sautéed aromatics (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and chopped bok choy to the other side of the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened and the beef is cooked through.
  • Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3) Cook the noodles

  • Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat.
  • Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking.
  • Return to the pot; add the sesame oil and stir to thoroughly coat.

4) Finish the noodles & serve your dish

  • Add the cooked noodles and sauce to the pan of cooked beef and bok choy; season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook on medium-high, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the noodles are thoroughly coated and combined.
  • Turn off the heat.
  • Serve the finished noodles garnished with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
