Work expensive ingredients with inexpensive ingredients – make something like this Ground Beef & Ramen Stirfry

For years, I have preached pairing ‘expensive’ ingredients with less expensive ones.

Thanks to recent inflation (2021-2022), the beef prices have sky-rocketed and I know find myself making meals like this one.

Ramen is cheaper than pasta…about the same price as rice. 

This is a fun and simple way to do quick stir-fry dinner!

How to Make Ground Beef & Ramen Stir-fry

Slice some fresh ginger and saute with the ground beef, minced onion and garlic powder.

Option: replace the fresh ginger with 1 tsp ground ginger.

Once browned stir in the Asian sauce.

Sauce ideas: stir-fry sauce, teriyaki sauce, or a plum sauce. Really, any will work!

Add the cooked Ramen.

Love that Ramen only takes 3 minutes to cook!

Voila!!

(I know, not the most colorful…throw some green broccoli on the side and boom, dinner is done!)

Enjoy!
