Instructions

  1. Make the Sauce

    In a mixing bowl whisk together low‑sodium soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, ginger paste, garlic paste, and Mike's hot honey until smooth.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Preheat the Griddle

    Turn the Blackstone griddle to medium heat (about 350°F) and let it warm for a few minutes.

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: Medium (≈350°F)

  3. Oil the Surface

    Lightly drizzle a thin line of neutral oil across the griddle and spread with the spatula.

    Time: PT1M

  4. Cook the Ground Beef

    Add the ground sirloin, break it up with the spatula, and season with a small spoonful of garlic and ginger paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5‑6 minutes.

    Time: PT6M

    Temperature: Medium

  5. Add Onion and First Portion of Sauce

    Stir in the chopped onion and pour in one‑third of the prepared sauce. Cook until the onion just starts to soften, about 2 minutes.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: Medium

  6. Add Green Onion Whites

    Slice the white parts of the green onions and add them to the griddle, mixing quickly.

    Time: PT1M

  7. Incorporate Cabbage Slaw

    Add the two bags of cabbage slaw mix, toss, and drizzle the second third of the sauce over it. Cook for 2 minutes until the slaw wilts slightly.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: Medium

  8. Scramble the Eggs

    Push the meat‑veggie mixture to one side of the griddle, pour the beaten eggs into the empty space, and scramble quickly until just set, about 2 minutes.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: Medium

  9. Combine Eggs with the Rest

    Mix the scrambled eggs into the meat and cabbage mixture until evenly distributed.

    Time: PT1M

  10. Add Noodles and Steam

    Break the instant noodles into bite‑size pieces, sprinkle them over the bowl, and drizzle a splash of water (about 2‑3 Tbsp). Cover briefly with a lid or foil and let steam for 3 minutes, tossing occasionally until noodles are softened.

    Time: PT3M

  11. Finish with Remaining Sauce

    Drizzle the final third of the sauce over the entire bowl, toss once more, and taste for seasoning. Add extra sauce if desired.

    Time: PT1M

  12. Garnish and Serve

    Stir in the sliced green onion tops and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds. Plate the bowl, garnish with extra green onions if you like, and serve with a side of spicy mayo.

    Time: PT2M
