For the beef and noodles

- 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
- 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.
Notes
To make AIP
- Use 5 oz 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.
