Spicy Beef Noodles
Asian pasta dish. Ingredients 1 pound 92% Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper 1/2 cup shredded carrots 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger 1 cup low-salt, fat-free beef broth 1/4 cup peanut butter 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper 8 ounces vermicelli, cooked 1/4 cup sliced green onions 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted Chopped peanuts (optional) Directions 1. Cook beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until beef is browned. 2. Add red pepper and next 7 ingredients and sauté 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Toss beef mixture with hot pasta, green onions, sesame seeds and chopped peanuts, if desired. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings. Cooking Tip: Texture is the key when purchasing fresh ginger. It should be absolutely solid -- not mushy or soft. The skin should be smooth; wrinkled skin is a sign of old ginger. Cooking Tip: Raw green onions have, in a small number of instances, been connected to food-borne illness. The only reliable way to eliminate this risk is to cook green onions thoroughly. Saute in a skillet for 2 minutes.
