Soy Scallion Noodles with ground beef and veg

🧂 Ingredients

• ½ head savoy cabbage

  or green cabbage
• 3 stalks celery

  sliced into ¼” pieces
• 2 stalks scallions
• 2 cloves garlic

  minced
• ½ lb Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 6 ounces noodles

  or 2 instant noodle packs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  or 2 sauce packets
• ½ cup water

  starchy water from boiling the noodles in
• ½ cup chicken broth
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Chili oil

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Bring a pot of water up to a boil.
• 2 Prep the vegetables and aromatics – thinly slice the celery into ¼” thick
  pieces, thinly slice the cabbage and scallions, and mince the garlic.
• 3 Once the water is boiling, cook the noodles according to package instructions,
  usually about 3 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of the noodle water, then drain and rinse
  the noodles in cold water. Rinse the noodles until they are cool, about 1
  minute.
• 4 Heat the same pot you cooked the noodles on medium high heat. Brown the ground
  beef with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mince up the ground beef with a
  wooden spoon until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
• 5 Remove some of the beef fat if you’re using a fatty cut and see an excessive
  amount of fat in the pan (more than a tablespoon). Add a tablespoon of butter
  and the sliced scallions and minced garlic.
• 6 After one minute, add the cabbage, celery, pinch of salt, and black pepper. Give
  everything a mix, then add the pasta water and chicken broth. Cook for 5 minutes
  on medium high heat.
• 7 Add the cooked noodles and noodle sauce packets (or soy sauce) to the pot. Give
  everything a mix and thoroughly mix everything together. Taste, adjust seasoning
  as desired, and serve. Top with chili oil if you like, and enjoy.
