Calories: 215kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef 96/4
- 1/2 C 120g Beef Stock
- 2 Tbsp 30g Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp 30g Chili Garlic Sauce
- 2 Tbsp 30g Rice Vinegar
- 2 tsp Five Spice Powder I used Whole Foods version
- 2 Tbsp 24g Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 16 oz bag Frozen Stir Fry Vegetables Mix
- 12 oz packet Palmini Pasta or your choice of cooked noodles
Instructions
- Put the frozen vegetables in the microwave for 6-7 minutes according to its packaging. Drain the Palmini noodles and set aside.**
- Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Mix the five spice, beef stock, soy and chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar together in a bowl while the beef cooks.
- Once the beef is cooked through and no pink remains, add the sauce. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vegetables and noodles, tossing everything together. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Top with optional toasted sesame seeds (not included in the nutrition facts), serve, and enjoy!
Notes
**You can soak the Palmini noodles in milk to remove any flavor. (I personally can't taste the noodles and think this is unnecessary.) And if you'd like a softer texture, you can boil them for about 5 minutes to soften the noodles.
