Sesame Noodles

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sesame paste, chile oil or chile crisp, sesame oil, brown sugar, and water and mix well.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir once before stirring in the meat. Season with salt and cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 3

Add the sauce mixture to the skillet with the meat and stir to combine. Add the noodles to the skillet and toss to coat well with the sauce.

Step 4

Serve garnished with scallions and peanuts.
