Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz spaghetti or rice noodles
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  • Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and hoisin sauce. Pour the sauce into the skillet, stirring to combine.
  • Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Add this to the beef mixture, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Toss in the cooked noodles and mix well to coat them evenly in the sauce.
  • Add sliced green onions and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well and cook for an additional minute.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of sesame oil when combining the noodles with the sauce.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snow peas for a heartier dish.
  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing the red pepper flakes.
