Ingredients

8 tablespoons dark soy sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce)

5 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1/2 cup (120 ml) beef broth or beef stock

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon cornstarch

9 oz (250 g) linguini

Salt, to taste

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 lb (450 g) ground beef (90% lean)

4 teaspoons minced garlic

3 teaspoons minced ginger

4 green onions, chopped

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, sesame oil, brown sugar, chilli flakes, black pepper, and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Add minced garlic and ginger to the beef and cook for 1 minute, stirring until fragrant.
  5. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Add cooked linguini to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce and beef mixture.
  7. Stir in chopped green onions, reserving some for garnish if desired.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Notes

Substitute linguini with spaghetti, udon, or lo mein noodles.

Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.

Add vegetables like bell pepper, broccoli, or snap peas for extra nutrition.

Adjust spice by adding more chilli flakes or sriracha.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of water or broth.
