These Ground Beef Ramen with Hoisin Sauce is made with ramen, ground beef, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, jalapeños, lime juice, and cilantro.

This Ground Beef Ramen with Hoisin Sauce are the real deal and only takes 20 minutes to make. They run on the spicy side since I added sriracha, which you can omit. You can definitely control how much sriracha you would like to put in it so it doesn’t have to be super spicy. There are many variations to Ground Beef Spicy Ramen but this is my favorite.

Substitutions

- Rice Vinegar: If you can’t find rice vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
- Hoisin Sauce: You can use a premade garlic teriyaki or bean paste.

Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.
