Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

Sauces & Liquids

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

Pasta & Thickeners

  • 10 oz linguine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Garnish

  • 4 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook linguine: Begin by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside to be combined later with the sauce.
  2. Brown the beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish balanced.
  3. Sauté garlic and mix sauce: Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then stir in the brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Combine well to meld the flavors.
  4. Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Toss noodles in sauce: Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss the noodles in the sauce thoroughly so they are evenly coated and flavorful.
  6. Garnish and serve: Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and serve hot for a delicious and comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can use other types of noodles like spaghetti or rice noodles if linguine is not available.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes or omit for a milder dish.
  • For a lower sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce added salt accordingly.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, substitute the soy sauce with tamari and use gluten-free noodles.
  • Leftover noodles can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
