Noodles are tender with a slight chew, while the stir-fried cabbage and bell pepper retain a pleasant crunch. Crumbled ground meat adds juicy, slightly chewy bites that contrast well with the soft noodles and crisp vegetables for an overall satisfying mouthfeel.
A warm, savory aroma dominated by soy sauce and garlic with toasty, caramelized meat notes. Sweet onion and bell pepper contribute a mildly sweet, fresh fragrance that balances the savory base.
Crisp Japanese lager (e.g., Asahi or Sapporo) or chilled sencha green tea; a light, dry sake also pairs nicely.
Miso soup, Japanese pickles (tsukemono) or pickled cucumber, steamed edamame, or gyoza make good accompaniments.
Cook the noodles in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and chopped cabbage to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables become tender and slightly softened.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan. Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the sugar. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot in bowls and enjoy.
