Equipment
- 1 Wok or big enough pan
- 1 pot for spaghetti
- 1 small mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 800 g ground beef low fat ground beef or even ground chicken are good alternatives for low fat servings
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Use low sodium Soy Sauce to lower salt intake
- 3 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flake optional - red pepper flakes give it a sharp peppery bite. Personally I prefer using cayenne pepper.
- 285 g linguine (spaghetti)
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp water
- 4 green onions sliced/chopped
Instructions
Prepare Spaghetti
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta according to package directions
- Drain and set aside
Prepare meat
- In a large skillet/Wok over medium-high heat, brown ground beef until no longer pink.
- Drain any fat, then add garlic and cook until gragrant, about 1 minute
- In a separate mixing bowl, add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Mix well, then add to meat. Stir in to meat mixture.
- Using same mixing bowl, dissolve the corn starch with water and then add to sauce.
- Stir and bring sauce to a gentle boil.
- Once sauce has thickened, add spaghetti and mix in well.
- Let noodles sit in sauce 2-3 minutes to absorb some flavor.
- You can either serve to plates and then top with green onions or add green onions to mix at last possible minute before you remove from the stove. Personally I did the latter. The onion releases some of it's juices to the mixture, yet remain crispy and firm.
