  • 4 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2.5 cup beef broth

Preparation Steps
  1. Make the sauce first. Whisk together soy sauce, garlic chili sauce, ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Add ground beef to a large pot or Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes until partially cooked.
  3. Add diced white onion and minced garlic; sauté for another 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in beef broth and prepared sauce. Bring to a boil, then submerge ramen noodles and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir noodles to separate, add bell pepper and edamame. Cover and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat. If liquid is absorbed, top with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. If not, cover and let sit for a few minutes.

This recipe is easily customizable—swap in frozen peas or broccoli if fresh veggies aren't available. Serve with extra sriracha for heat!
