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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch
  • 1/2 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
  • 1/2 white onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 head baby bok choy, chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp green onion, chopped

Instructions

For the sauce

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Salt further to taste and serve topped with green onion.

Notes

To make AIP

  • Use 5 oz cassava spaghetti instead of gluten-free ramen.
  • Use apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar.
