Ingredients
  

  • 450 g halal ground beef
  • 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 65 g brown sugar
  • 60 ml beef broth
  • 80 ml 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, thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Pot for boiling noodles
  • Wooden spoon
  • Whisk
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and add the linguine, cooking according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, tossing with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir together to combine.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Slowly add this to the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce. Heat through for a couple of minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with freshly sliced green onions.

Notes

For lighter options, consider using ground chicken, turkey, or tofu instead of beef. Substitute linguine with spiraled zucchini for a low-carb version. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to revive the sauce. For extra flavor, slowly caramelize the garlic over low heat before adding it to the dish. Experiment with adding vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added nutrition. If storing for meal prep, keep the noodles and sauce separate until ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
