Notes

To maximize flavor, use fresh garlic and don’t skip the cornstarch slurry; it’s key for achieving that thick sauce! You can substitute ground beef with chicken or tofu and use different types of noodles as per your preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat gently for up to three days. Avoid freezing as the texture of the noodles may change. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy your meal!
