Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha optional
  • 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey as an alternative
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 large carrots peeled and julienned
  • 1 15- oz can baby corn drained
  • 2 14.2- oz packages stir-fry noodles
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Once cooked, drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil. Toss in the broccoli and carrots, stirring frequently, and cook for about 5 minutes or until the carrots begin to soften.
  3. While the vegetables cook, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha (if using), honey, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger paste, minced garlic, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Then, add the baby corn and cooked beef back into the pan, mixing well.
  5. Add the stir-fry noodles to the pan and gently toss to coat. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to allow the noodles to fry and absorb the sauce.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with optional sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an added touch of flavor and texture.

Notes

Ground Meat: You may substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or any other ground meat of your choice. Ground turkey is a great option for a lighter version of this dish.
Vegetable Variations: Feel free to incorporate additional vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers when adding the broccoli and carrots for extra flavor and nutrition.
Adjusting Spice: For those who prefer a milder dish, you can omit the sriracha or reduce the amount used. If you enjoy more heat, increase the sriracha according to your taste preference.
