Asian Beef and Noodles

Spiralize the zucchini, then transfer the noodles to a large bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel and a large sheet of cheesecloth (or just use paper towels). Sprinkle on a few pinches of salt and set the noodles aside.

Then, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together, then set aside.

Heat a large deep skillet over medium-high heat and add the oils. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and sauté, until the onions are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-5 minutes while stirring continuously. Season the onion and garlic with a little salt and pepper.

Push the onion and garlic to one side of the pan and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook the ground beef until it’s browned, about 3-5 minutes.

Slowly stir the sauce into the ground beef mixture. Turn the heat up a bit and continue to cook the mixture until the meat begins to caramelize a bit.

Now, squeeze as much liquid out the zucchini noodles as you possibly can, then add them to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir the noodles in with the beef mixture until all the flavors marry and the noodles are warm through, about 2-3 minutes.

At this point, you can taste and add more salt if needed.

Finish the beef and noodles with fresh scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
