15-Minute Lazy Noodle

Prep Time: 5 minsCuisine: Chinese
Cook Time: 10 minsServes: 4-6 serving
Total Time: 15 minsType: Noodle and Pasta

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles. Meanwhile, heat the wok over high heat, and and add a tablespoon or two of oil. Add the ground meat, and stir-fry until browned and slightly crispy.

Add the onion and garlic, and continue to cook over high heat until the onions are slightly softened and browned at the edges. Stir in the spinach until it’s just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package directions. Add to a bowl, along with the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and chili oil (if using). Toss with the onion, meat, and spinach mixture.

Serve!

2 teaspoons chili oil (optional)
1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
salt and pepper
2 large handfuls of baby spinach
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 pound ground beef, pork, chicken, or turkey
1-2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
12 oz. dried wheat noodles (almost any noodle will do––even spaghetti)

There’s also a ton of flexibility in this noodle recipe. Don’t have dark soy sauce? Leave it out.

Don’t want to use ground beef, like I did? Use ground pork, chicken, or turkey.

Want yours spicier? Add more chili oil.

Sweeter? Add a bit more honey.

Ran out of honey? Use sugar.

Don’t have spinach? Throw in just about any other leafy green you can get your hands on.
