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
1. 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.
2. While the beef cooks, prepare wide rice noodles according to package instructions. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
3. Add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
4. 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.
5. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce and meat mixture.
6. 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).
