Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, turkey, or chicken
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add the ground meat to the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the meat to a plate and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked ground meat to the pan with the vegetables.
Pour in the soy sauce and add salt, black pepper, and sriracha or chili paste if using. Stir everything together until well combined.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors together.
Remove pan from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
Serve the stir-fried vegetables and meat over warm rice or noodles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
