Korean Noodles Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

EXTRA SAUCY: If you like a lot of sauce, you can easily double the sauce ingredients for a super saucy meal.

MUSHROOMS: You could add a cup of sliced white mushrooms to this, and it would be delicious.

GREEN ONIONS: You can also add fresh diced green onions as a garnish when serving.

RED PEPPER FLAKES: Want some heat? Add crushed red pepper flakes to taste.

I would suggest starting with ¼ teaspoon to the sauce mix and adjusting according to your personal preference.

MEAT: You could swap out the lean ground beef for sliced beef instead. It can also be made with sliced pork tenderloin.

VEGETARIAN: You can omit the meat and increase the veggies or make it with tofu instead for a vegetarian dish.

BELL PEPPER: You could add thinly cut strips of red, orange, or yellow bell pepper for a bright pop of flavor and color.

EGG: You can add an egg, either soft-boiled or fried, on top before serving.

GREENS: You can use broccoli, zucchini, or sugar snap peas in this as well in this easy recipe.

How To Make This Korean Noodles Recipe

Let’s walk through the handful of steps to making this dish that is better than takeout.

STEP ONE: In a large nonstick skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Once cooked, drain off any extra grease.

STEP TWO: While the meat is cooking, prepare the sauce.

In a small bowl, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, and minced garlic.

Once whisked together, set aside until the meat is done cooking.

STEP THREE: Add the sauce to the skillet with the browned meat. Stir to mix, then transfer the meat and sauce to a medium bowl and set aside.

STEP FOUR: In the same skillet, add the carrots and onion. You may need to add ½ tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.

Over medium heat, cook the carrots and onions until tender, about 6-7 minutes.

STEP FIVE: While the vegetables are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Once the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook for ten minutes. Drain the water and set the noodles aside.

STEP SIX: Once the carrots and onions are tender, then add the cut spinach and turn off the heat. Mix the vegetables together.

STEP SEVEN: Add the ground beef, sauce, and cooked noodles back to the skillet and gently stir to mix.

STEP EIGHT: Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.

How To Serve Beef Korean Noodles

If you’re looking for a refreshing side dish to balance out these savory noodles, try a pickled cucumber salad or tomato cucumber salad with a zesty dressing.

For even more flavorful dishes, we think you’ll enjoy these simple Korean beef and Thai noodles as well!

Storing Homemade Korean Noodles

With a few simple steps, you can enjoy these delectable noodles for future meals.

IN THE FRIDGE: You can keep leftovers of these saucy noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for two to three days.

Leftovers microwave nicely for a quick meal.

IN THE FREEZER: I would suggest making the meat and veggie mixture but preparing the noodles fresh if you are planning to make this meal ahead of time and freeze.

Leftovers for this recipe do not freeze well once they are mixed with the noodles.

This classic Korean noodles recipe is filled with authentic flavors. Glass noodles pair perfectly with seasoned ground beef, homemade sauce, and veggies for a delicious and simple meal that is quick and easy to make.
