Technique to learn

Sauce Emulsification

Combining thick roasted nut or seed pastes with liquid creates a velvety emulsion that clings perfectly to cooked noodles.

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the Chinese sesame paste, soy sauce, chili oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and warm chicken broth until smooth.

Step 2: Cook wheat noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package instructions. Drain thoroughly.

Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and brown for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it into fine crumbles.

Step 4: Pour half of the sesame sauce into the pan with the browned beef and toss for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Divide the warm noodles into four serving bowls and pour the remaining sesame sauce evenly over each portion.

Step 6: Top noodles with the seasoned ground beef, scatter sliced scallions over top, and toss thoroughly before eating.

Cooking tips

Whisking sesame paste with warm broth thins it out smoothly without clumping.
