Ingredients 

For the Noodles:

• 10 oz linguine 

For the Ground Beef & Sauce:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 5 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/3 cup brown sugar

• 1/4 cup beef broth

• 1/3 cup soy sauce

• 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce

• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

• 1 Tbsp cornstarch

• 2 Tbsp water 

For Garnish:

• 4 green onions, sliced 

Directions

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil the linguine in well‑salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 

2. Brown the Beef: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium‑high heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat. 

3. Add Aromatics and Sauces: Stir in the minced garlic, then add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well and let the flavors come together. 

4. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and simmer until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze that coats the back of a spoon. 

5. Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss until every strand is well coated. Let it sit over low heat for a couple of minutes to absorb even more flavor. 

6. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to bowls or a serving dish. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top before serving.
