Why You’ll love these Hoisin Beef Noodles

  • It’s super easy to make. No fancy steps, just blending the sauce, boiling ramen and simple stir fry. It can easily be ready in under 30 minutes.
  • It’s flexible. You can use ground chicken if you prefer or a different type of noodle. You can try different vegetables in it as well!

The Ingredients for Hoisin Beef Noodles

  • Medjool Dates, Coconut Aminos, Rice Vinegar, Arrowroot Starch, and Blackstrap Molasses. These ingredients are most of the ingredients for the delicious sauce!
  • Almond Butter. You can omit the almond butter or replace with tigernut butter for AIP.
  • Chinese Five Spice. Omit for AIP.
  • Gluten-Free Ramen. I love ramen in this recipe, but you can even use gluten-free spaghetti or cassava spaghetti. It’s a bit different, but the general flavors are still the same!
  • Ground Beef. Ground chicken or turkey will also work.
  • Salt, Pepper, and Avocado Oil. 
  • White Onion, Garlic, Baby Bok Choy, and Carrots.
  • Green Onions.  For topping.

  • Store in the fridge. Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • Reheat on the stove for a few minutes or until warm.

Is this hoisin beef noodle healthy?

Healthy is always a subjective term… healthy is something different to everybody. However, we’d call this bowl healthy! It’s sweetened with dates and made with real food ingredients.

How to make this recipe AIP

  • Use cassava spaghetti instead of gluten-free ramen.
  • Use apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar.
  • Omit the five spice and black pepper.
  • Omit the almond butter from the hoisin sauce, or use tigernut butter instead.

  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch
  • ½ tsp Chinese five spice
  • Salt and pepper

For the beef and noodles

  • 2 bricks of gluten-free ramen
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • ½ white onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 head baby bok choy, chopped
  • ½ cup carrots, shredded
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos

Instructions
 

For the sauce

  • Add all of the ingredients to a pot and bring to a low simmer. Simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring often until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool before pureeing with an immersion blender, or in a blender. The sauce should be thick and creamy. Set aside.

For the beef and noodles

  • Boil a pot of water and salt well. Add the ramen and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, strain and toss with a bit of avocado oil to avoid sticking. Set aside.
  • Using a large pan, heat over medium heat and add the beef. Season with salt and pepper and crumble until browned. Set aside and drain any excess fat.
  • Add the oil to the pan over medium-low heat, and add the onion and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are soft. Add the bok choy and carrots and saute for another 4-5 minutes or until softened.
  • Add the beef, cooked ramen, hoisin sauce, and coconut aminos to the skillet and stir to combine. Saute for a few minutes to reheat the beef and totally coat the dish in the sauce.
  • Salt further to taste and serve topped with green onion.
