Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
- 10 oz linguine
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 4 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 10 oz of linguine and cook according to the package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 lb of ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add 5 minced garlic cloves to the browned beef and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup beef broth, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Stir well.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tbsp cornstarch in 2 tbsp cold water. Add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble.
- Add the drained linguine to the skillet. Toss well to coat the noodles with the sauce and beef mixture. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to absorb more flavor.
- Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top. Serve the noodles hot and enjoy.
