Sesame Garlic Noodles

Asian noodle dishes are always welcome on my weekly meal plans. This recipe is quick, hearty, and require just a few ingredients! They are gluten free and can be eaten hot or cold, so they make a great meal prep!

Ingredients-

• 12 ounces uncooked brown rice noodles

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1/2 yellow onion

• 1 carrot julienned

• 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil

• 6 cloves garlic

• 1 tsp minced ginger

• 1/4 cup coconut aminos

• 2 tbsp bone broth broth

• 1 ½ tbsp rice vinegar

• 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 2 tbsp tahini

• 2 tsp sriracha

Directions-

• Bring a large pot of bone broth and water (I do 1:3 ratio) to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. 

• In a separate pan put 1 TBSP oil, minced onion, and ground beef. Brown and set aside.

• Mince the garlic very finely or use a garlic press to get it super small since we won’t be blending up this sauce. 

• Add the minced garlic to a pan with the neutral oil. This can be avocado, olive, or refined coconut oil. 

• Saute until the edges of the garlic look golden brown. 

• Meanwhile, whisk together all of the remaining sauce ingredients in a bowl until there are no visible clumps of ginger and the tahini is spread throughout. 

• Pour the sauce into the pan with the garlic and mix well. 

• Let simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Add your ground beef mixture and julienned carrots.

• When the pasta is done cooking, drain, rinse with cold water, and combine with the sauce. 

• Garnish with scallions, chili oil, crushed peanuts and enjoy!
