Ingredients
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 5 cloves of garlic finely minced
- 1/3 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of beef broth
- 1/3 cup of soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- A pinch of red pepper flakes optional, for heat
- 10 ounces of linguine
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, breaking it up as it browns.
- Drain excess fat if necessary, then add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper until well combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved, then add it to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir and bring the sauce to a gentle boil until it thickens.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
- Let the noodles sit for 2 to 3 minutes to absorb the flavor.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot. Enjoy!
