How to make Air Fryer Beef Ramen Stir Fry:
Step 1: Preheat
Start by preheating the air fryer for 5 minutes at 380 degrees F or 193 degrees C . You need that air fryer hot!
Step 2: Cook Ramen
While the air fryer is preheating, cook the ramen according to package directions but leave out the seasoning packages.
Step 3: Cook ground beef
Now, add the ground beef to the air fryer basket. If you have a removable tray, take out the tray (see notes). Air fry at 380 degrees F or 193 degrees C for 4-5 min, stirring halfway to break up the meat so that it cooks evenly.
Step 4: Add sauce
Now, add the sauce ingredients of peanut butter, hoisin sauce sriracha sauce, soy sauce, ground ginger, and minced garlic to the ground beef meat.
Then stir to combine it together.
Cook everything at 380 degrees F or 193 degrees C for 3-6 minutes, or until meat is cooked through and fragrant to your liking. Stir the meat halfway through cooking to continue to break it up.
Step 5: Add in noodles
Add about 3-4 tbsp of ramen water to the meat. Air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove and enjoy with ramen noodles
Notes for Air Fryer Beef Ramen Stir Fry:
Non-Peanut Alternative: Don’t Use Peanut Butter. This will still taste great with just hoisin sauce.
If you have a basket-style air fryer without a removable tray, then you can cook the meat directly in the air fryer basket.
Or, alternately you can line the basket with tin foil to help contain the meat a little more and not get any drippings. Just make sure everything is thoroughly cooked.
Before adding the sauce ingredients, try to remove any excess grease if you are cooking in a basket lined with tin foil.
