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 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Pinch red pepper flake, optional

10 oz linguine

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

4 green onions, sliced

PREPARATION

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef until no longer pink.

Drain fat as needed, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, red pepper flake, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water and add to ground beef. Stir and bring to a gentle boil. Once sauce has thickened, add noodles and stir to combine.

Let noodles sit in sauce 2-3 minutes to absorb some flavor. Top with green onions and serve. Enjoy!
