Description
A quick and flavorful beef dish with rice noodles, infused with ginger and garlic, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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. 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!
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the beef with a little soy sauce and garlic beforehand.
- This dish can be customized with vegetables like bell peppers or carrots.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of red pepper flakes.
