Ingredients
Scale
For the Noodles
-
- 8 oz linguine or fettuccine noodles
For the Beef and Sauce
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 green onions sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking the beef.
- Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the cooked noodles and set them aside.
- Drain any excess fat from the browned beef mixture.
- Add brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet with the beef. Stir well to combine all sauce ingredients.
- In a small separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a smooth slurry. Pour this cornstarch slurry into the beef mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir continuously until the sauce has thickened and turned glossy, which should take approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss them to coat evenly and completely in the sauce. Allow the mixture to sit for 2-3 minutes so the noodles absorb the delicious flavor.
- Serve the noodles immediately, garnished with the freshly sliced green onions.
