A flavorful and spicy noodle dish inspired by Szechuan cuisine, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for the best flavor.
In the same skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the mixture is fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the sautéed aromatics.
Whisk thoroughly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let it simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and mix well with the sauce. Let it heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Ensure the beef is fully coated with the sauce.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine with the beef and sauce. Sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
