This Asian-inspired noodle dish brings together savory lean minced beef and flavorful ginger, garlic, and five-spice powder.

Tossed with egg noodles and a savory soy sauce, this dish is a delightful balance of bold flavors and textures. Finish by drizzling with a hint of sesame oil for a final touch of richness.
