Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 oz noodles (lo mein, udon, linguine, or spaghetti)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, if beef is lean)
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (slurry for thickening)
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the beef.
  5. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the sauce.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For added heat, include red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha sauce.
  • Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce if needed.
