Ingredients

1 pound extra lean ground beef
½ red bell pepper diced
4 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp sweet Thai chili sauce
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic minced
3 (3 oz each) packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
salt & pepper to taste
chopped scallions optional garnish
sesame seeds optional garnish

Instructions

In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the red bell pepper. After fully cooking the beef, drain off any excess grease.
While the beef is cooking, boil a pot of water. Cook the ramen noodles only (disgard seasoning packets) for about 3 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the cooked beef. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add peanut butter, hoisin sauce, red chili sauce (if using), and soy sauce to the skillet with the beef. Mix well.
Pour in 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water to thin the sauce. Add more if needed to reach the desired consistency.
Add the cooked ramen noodles into the skillet, making sure to coat them well with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped green onions and/or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
