Ingredients: ¼ cup sesame or olive oil (or a mix of both) 2 tbsp butter ⅓ cup green onions, thinly sliced 3 tbsp Thai red curry paste 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 shallot, chopped 1 lb lean ground beef 2 tsp rice wine vinegar 1-2 tsp lemongrass paste (optional) 1 egg 1-2 bell peppers, thinly sliced 1 zucchini, thinly sliced 1 cup chopped broccoli florets 8 oz shiitake mushrooms, or your favorite variety, sliced Chili flakes to taste (optional for heat) ½ cup fresh Thai or regular basil, chopped ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 4 squares ramen noodles or 6 oz of rice noodles ⅓ cup tamari or soy sauce 1 tsp honey or brown sugar For serving: Radish microgreens, or your favorite variety Additional green onion slices and herbs Sriracha Peanuts or cashews, roughly chopped Instructions: In a skillet, saute the green onions in the oil over medium heat until fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Lower the heat, stir in the butter, red curry paste, lemongrass paste, garlic, shallots, and chili flakes. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add the beef to the pan and brown all over for about 5 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add in a few splashes of tamari, the rice wine vinegar and 1 teaspoon of honey. Let the beef caramelize for 2 minutes longer. Mix in the egg and vegetables & toss to combine. Cook until the veggies are still a bit firm, but tender. Cook the noodles according to package directions, then drain and toss with the beef mix and 1/3 cup of tamari. Let everything cook together for 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat. Serve the noodles in bowls and garnish with extra green onions, herbs and microgreens. Sprinkle on some peanuts for extra flavor and crunch!
