Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spatula, for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 medium spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Toss gently and cook for 3-4 minutes until noodles are slightly softened but still al dente.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry before serving.
