Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 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, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease. Add minced garlic and ground ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- While the beef cooks, prepare wide rice noodles according to package instructions. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
- Add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water until dissolved. Stir this mixture into the skillet. Bring to a low boil and cook until the sauce thickens.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce and meat mixture.
- Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes so the noodles absorb the sauce. Serve warm topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (optional).
