Here’s a step-by-step guide to making this hearty dish right in your kitchen.
🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 8 oz (225g) noodles (lo mein, spaghetti, or rice noodles work well)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, but adds depth)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
- ½ cup beef broth or water
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
🔪 Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Start by boiling your noodles in a pot of salted water according to package instructions. Cook them until just al dente — you don’t want them too soft since they’ll finish cooking in the sauce later.
Drain, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef
In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Cook until the beef is browned and no pink remains — about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
