Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz spaghetti or lo mein noodles
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, red pepper flakes (if using), water, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
