What Do I Need to Make Korean Ground Beef Noodles?

For being as flavorful as it is, you really don’t need many ingredients. Most of them are pantry staples, so you have no excuse not to make this for dinner asap! Here is everything you’ll need:

• Spaghetti: Any long, thin pasta will work great like linguine or vermicelli. You could also use angel hair pasta, or rice, ramen, glass, or udon noodles.
  • NOTE: For a low carb option, use zucchini noodles!
• Canola or Vegetable Oil: Used to help brown and crisp up the beef.
• Ground Beef: Use 80/20 or 85/15 for the best flavor.
  • NOTE: If you want to lighten this up a little, use ground chicken or lean ground turkey!
• Garlic: Adds flavor.
• Soy Sauce: I like to use low sodium soy sauce so that I can control the saltiness more.
• Orange Juice: Fresh OJ is preferred but you can use store bought if needed. Make sure there’s no added sugar. Adds tanginess and fresh citrus flavor.
• Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness and rich flavor to the stick sauce.
• Sweet Chili Sauce: Adds a little more sweetness and a tiny bit of heat.
  • NOTE: If you like a little heat and want even more authentic Korean flavor, replace the sweet chili sauce with gochujang hot pepper paste.
• Toasted Sesame Oil: Adds that signature Asian flavor.
• Cornstarch: Helps thicken the sauce.
• Green Onions: Adds a pop of fresh flavor.

Ground Beef Stroganoff Ingredients

Despite how luxurious the beef stroganoff sauce tastes, it’s actually made with everyday ingredients you have in your pantry! Here’s what you’ll need to make this ground beef dinner recipe:

• Egg Noodles: We like the texture and flavor of the egg noodles with the sauce but any pasta will work fine.

• Onions: a yellow onion works great and dice it small
• Seasonings: Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt, Black Pepper, Dried Parsley Flakes, Onion Powder
• Thyme: We prefer fresh thyme but if you need to use dried, use 1/2 teaspoon.
• Butter: helps sauté the mushrooms and then mixes with the flour to create a roux for the sauce
• Cremini Mushrooms: sliced thin
• Flour: just regular all purpose flour is all you need
• Beef Broth: creates the base for the sauce, use low sodium beef broth if you want to reduce the salt

How to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff From Scratch

You are going to love me when you see how easy this beef stroganoff recipe is! It’s ready in as much time as it takes to boil noodles!

1. Start your egg noodles cooking in salted water.
2. Sauté the onions in a large skillet or shallow dutch oven over medium high heat on the stove top and then add the seasonings. Cook until browned and then drain the grease and remove everything to a bowl.
3. Add the butter to the pan and then add mushrooms to caramelize. Then add the flour and stir for a minute or so to cook the flour taste out.
4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire and whisk everything together. Simmer a few minutes to thicken. Add in the sour cream and stir everything together.
   • PRO TIP: You’ve just made homemade cream of mushroom soup and it’s so much better made from scratch!
5. Serve over egg noodles in a large pan and top with fresh parsley.

Jewish Kugel

Have you ever had kugel? Noodle kugel is a traditional Jewish holiday dish made from egg noodles baked in a sweet custard. It can be made in advance, refrigerated and baked before serving, making it perfect for big family get-togethers.

I kept seeing my friends post about this noodle pudding around Rosh Hashanah and I was so curious, I had to try it myself! It’s so different from anything I had ever tried. A sweet pasta dish that is used as the main course? I just couldn’t resist!

I researched all the kugel recipes I could find and ended up combining three different recipes to create this one. I’m sold! It’s so good! Perfectly sweet, but hearty enough for a main dish. And my kids thought they were getting away with eating dessert for dinner!

Kugel is pronounced kuh-gull or koo-gull and has been around for hundreds of years. It has got to be good if it has been around for that long! Kugel originates in southern Germany and it is a Yiddish work for baked casserole. It is a popular option for Jewish holidays, like Shabbat, in that region. It is also a popular dish for family brunches.

Ingredients Needed for Kugel

In order to make kugel, you need a starch, eggs and fat. For the starch, we use wide egg noodles and for the fat we use a combination of butter, cottage cheese, sour cream and cream cheese. Here is your grocery list:

Kugel

• Egg Noodles
• Unsalted Butter
• Eggs
• Sugar
• Cottage Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Cream Cheese

Topping

We actually love sticking zucchini into savory dinner meals to get extra veggies into our meal. Have you tried our Mexican zucchini boats or our creamy zucchini sausage casserole? Zucchini is so versatile and can be paired with so many different flavor profiles. I just love it!

Anyway, THIS SKILLET. It’s so good you guys! Gather up all your zucchini cause you’re gonna put this one on repeat ’til there ain’t no zucchini left! I’m sure everyone’s made zoodles by now, but I’ve got a tip to making them turn out just right–not mushy, but not too crunchy either. Keep reading for all the tips for the best zoodles!

What are Zoodles?

Zoodles are “noodles” made out of zucchini. Using a spiralizer, you create thin, spaghetti-like strips of zucchini and then they are cooked like noodles in a dish. They are healthier and low carb than regular pasta.

Ingredients for Meatballs and Zucchini Skillet

You only need a few ingredients to get this tasty zucchini spaghetti on the table! Here is your grocery list:

• Zucchinis: Fresh from the garden if you have them!
• Meatballs: We love the pre-cooked frozen turkey meatballs from Trader Joe’s, but you can use any meatballs you love.
• Marinara Sauce: The absolute best store-bought sauce is Rao’s! It’s so good!
• Mozzarella + Mild Cheddar Cheese: shredded and mixed together
• Garlic Salt: adds flavor
• Salt and Pepper: adds flavor
• Basil: Fresh is preferred!

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Tips for Making the Best Zoodles

Once you spiralize the zucchini you have to place them in a strainer or colander and sprinkle them with salt! This helps release the liquids. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes and then use a clean cloth to wrap the zoodles up and squeeze the water out. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze until the water stops dripping.
