Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside, tossing lightly with a touch of sesame oil to prevent sticking.

   While noodles cook, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook 5-6 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
