Instructions

 
  1. Cook the noodles:

  5. Serve:
    Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes if using. Serve hot.

Notes

 
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli for added nutrition and color.
  • Adjust the sweetness or saltiness by modifying the amount of sugar or soy sauce to your preference.
