A flavorful dish featuring tender ground beef and noodles, coated in a rich, savory sauce infused with garlic and ginger.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) noodles (spaghetti, udon, or rice noodles)
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set them aside.
- In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, cooking until fully browned. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
