Ingredients:

• For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• For the Noodles and Beef:

  • 12 oz linguine noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 3 green onions, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, beef stock, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

2. Cook the Noodles:

   • Cook the linguine noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Cook the Beef:

   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   • Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
   • Add the minced garlic and ginger paste, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Season with black pepper and garlic powder, stirring to combine.

4. Combine Everything:

   • Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the beef. Stir well to coat the beef in the sauce.
   • Add the cooked linguine noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine and heat through. Let everything cook together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the noodles and beef.

5. Serve:

   • Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions (reserving some for garnish).
   • Garnish with sesame seeds and the reserved green onions before serving.
