Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 2/3 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 16 oz box linguine, spaghetti, or rice noodles
- Chopped green onion, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any extra fat, then return the beef to the skillet.
- Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Mix until everything is combined and the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
- Toss in the drained noodles and stir until they’re fully coated with the sauce.
- Top with sliced green onion for a fresh crunch if you’d like. Serve hot and dig in!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce. Not freezer-friendly as the noodles can get mushy. For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a squeeze of sriracha. Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. Vegetarian? Swap the beef for tofu or plant-based ground. Gluten-free? Use tamari and rice noodles. Low carb? Serve over zucchini noodles.
