How to Make Aunt Lee's Oriental Noodles
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz dried noodles (udon, soba, or even spaghetti work well) and cook according to package directions, usually about 3-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
- Cut the cooked noodles once or twice lengthwise to make them easier to manage.
- In a large skillet or wok, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes. Add 2 minced cloves garlic and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Stir-fry for 1 minute more.
- Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color), and 1/2 cup chopped scallions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce and meat. Serve immediately, garnished with extra sesame seeds if desired.
