Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 oz wide rice noodles
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 green onions sliced
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. Break up the beef as it browns. Then drain off any excess grease. Add in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic.
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the noodles based on the package instructions. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
- Add the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, pepper and red pepper flakes to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of cold water. Stir until it’s dissolved and then stir this mixture into the skillet as well. Bring to a low boil. Heat until the sauce has thickened and then stir in the cooked noodles. Toss to combine the noodles thoroughly with the sauce and the meat mixture.
- Remove the pan from the heat but allow the noodles to sit in the sauce mixture for a few minutes to absorb the flavors. Then serve warm topped with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
