[PROTEIN DOUBLE GROUND BEEF] Japanese Style-Inspired Tan Tan Men with Baby Broccoli
- Soy
- Wheat
- Sesame
- Peanuts
This one-pot Japanese-style soup stars chewy udon noodles cooked right in a spicy, peanutty broth with Szechuan paste, Sriracha, and soy sauce. Baby broccoli, bok, choy, and cabbage go in first for a stir-fry, then ground beef gets cooked in the same pot. After that, you'll build your broth and toss in the noodles. Just ladle it out, top with the cooked veggies and beef, and finish with scallion greens and sesame seeds for a minimal-cleanup, maximal-flavor weeknight win.

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and discard woody ends from baby broccoli. Cut into 1-inch-long pieces.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, baby broccoli, and bok choy and napa cabbage; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are browned and softened, 3-5 minutes.
Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.
Heat a drizzle of oil in pot used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add beef*; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.
To pot used for beef, add Szechuan paste, Sriracha, peanut butter, half the soy sauce, 3 cups water, and 1 tsp sugar (5½ cups water and 2 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low; whisk until everything is thoroughly combined. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes.
Taste and add as much remaining soy sauce as you like. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Increase heat under pot with broth to medium high. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add noodles to pot, using tongs to break apart. Cook until tender, 1-2 minutes.
Divide noodles and broth between bowls. Top with veggies, beef, scallion greens, and sesame seeds. Serve.
