Ingredients
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 4 teaspoons ginger minced
• 6 cloves garlic minced
• ½ cup brown sugar can reduce to 1/3 or 1/4 cup
• ½ cup beef broth
• ½ cup soy sauce low sodium
• 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce if you can find low-sodium, I recommend it.
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
• 10 ounces noodles linguine, fettuccine, or spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 4 medium green onions sliced
Instructions
• In a large skillet with high sides brown the ground beef on the stovetop. Add the ginger and garlic the last 2 minutes of browning the ground beef. Break up the meat as it cooks.
• While the ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. (I recommend you do not salt the water.) Drain.
• Drain the ground beef and return it to the skillet along with the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, pepper, and hoisin sauce. Stir to combine.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add it to the ground beef mixture. Stir and bring the mixture to a low boil. After the sauce has thickened slightly add the drained noodles to the beef mixture. Stir to combine.
• Allow the noodles to sit in the sauce a few minutes to absorb flavor. Serve hot with a garnish of sliced green onions.
