Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil; add 2 servings of noodles and cook according to package instructions.

In a large wok or pan, heat 1 and 1/2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat.

Add 250 grams of ground beef, season with a pinch of salt, and sear for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Flip and break up the beef, stir frying for another 1-2 minutes until browned.

Add the chopped onion, white parts of green onion, garlic, and ginger; stir fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the cooked noodles to the beef mixture and stir fry for about 1 minute to coat the noodles in the aromatic oil.

Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and stir fry for about 2 minutes until combined.

Turn off the heat and add 1/2 tbsp of sesame oil, mixing well.

Plate the noodles and top with cucumber and green onions for garnish.
