This easy, 20-minute beef udon stir-fry noodles recipe is ideal for busy weeknights. A little ground beef, noodles, veggies, and a perfectly blended sauce will make everyone happy at dinner!

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Crispy & Crunchy Lettuce Wrap Seasoning
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp each low-sodium soy sauce and sesame oil
  • 12 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 pkgs (200 g each) fresh udon noodles
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together seasoning, water, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Fill a Multipurpose Pot three-quarters full of hot water and bring to a boil. Add noodles; boil, 4–5 min, stirring noodles gently until each strand has separated. The noodles will soften, but still be chewy. Drain, rinse under cool water; set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in Wok over medium-high heat; add beef. Cook until browned, about 4–5 min. Drain liquid, if needed.
  4. Slice peppers into thin strips. Add peppers and broccoli to wok; stir-fry until tender-crisp, 4–5 min.
  5. Add drained noodles and reserved sauce. Stir gently to combine (the wok will be full!) and sauce has heated through, 1 min.

Tips

Find fresh udon noodles in the Asian section of most grocery stores. Look for the noodles in the vacuum-sealed plastic packages—these are pre-cooked and required a short time in boiling water to separate the strands.
