Ingredients
  

  • 450 g ground beef (halal if preferred)
  • 5 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • a pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 280 g linguine or Asian noodles
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 4 green onions green onions thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Pot for boiling noodles
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Boil a pot of salted water and cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, tossing with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, then drain excess fat.
  3. Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Then pour in the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the skillet while stirring, and let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly.
  5. Toss the cooked linguine into the skillet, ensuring it is coated in the sauce. Heat on low for a few minutes to absorb flavors.
  6. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for garnish and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast the garlic slices briefly before adding them to the skillet. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months. To maintain noodle texture when reheating, consider storing the sauce separately from the noodles during meal prep. If you're missing an ingredient, consider substitutions like ground turkey for beef or zucchini noodles for a low-carb version. Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice tolerance for a customized dish.
