Cooking Instructions

  • Boil the noodles according to package instructions, but reduce the cooking time by about 1-2 minutes. Drain noodles and set aside.
  • Preheat griddle or large skillet to medium heat.
  • While the noodles are boiling, prepare the sauce by mixing beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch in a bowl.
  • When the griddle or skillet is hot, add ground beef in small chunks and allow it to cook untouched for 2-3 minutes.
  • When the beef is halfway cooked, add the whites of the green onions and chop with the beef.
  • Move the beef to the side or transfer to a bowl. Add oil to the griddle, then add garlic and ginger to toast briefly.
  • Add drained noodles to the griddle and mix briefly, then spread in an even layer for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add cooked ground beef to the noodles and sauté together, then slowly pour in the prepared sauce.
  • Toss everything together, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  • Sprinkle the noodles with the tops of the green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

Noodle choice – You can substitute regular linguini, fettuccini, or spaghetti noodles. For added heat, add red pepper flakes or sriracha. To stretch the dish, add stir-fry vegetables before cooking the ground beef and noodles.
