Description

A quick and delicious beef and noodle stir-fry with a savory sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz noodles (spaghetti, udon, or rice noodles)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, minced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water)
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, hoisin sauce, and red pepper flakes. Pour into the pan with beef and stir to combine.
  5. Add cornstarch slurry to the pan and stir. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Add cooked noodles to the pan, tossing until well coated in the sauce.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spiciness by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken if desired.
