Instructions

1. Cook the Noodles

Cook linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Brown the Ground Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.

3. Add Garlic and Sauces

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until combined.

4. Thicken the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add this to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.

5. Combine with Noodles

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly in the sauce.
Let everything simmer together for 2-3 minutes to heat through.

6. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with sliced green onions for garnish and serve warm.

Notes

Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Use rice noodles for a gluten-free version (ensure your soy sauce and hoisin are gluten-free).
Add vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra nutrition and color.
