Main Ingredients
- 10 oz wide rice noodles or fettuccine
- 16 oz ground beef 80 percent lean
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

Instructions
Cooking
- Boil the noodles. Cook the rice noodles in boiling water until tender, drain, rinse briefly, and set aside.
- Brown the beef. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the beef for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up, until no pink remains and it reaches 160 degrees F. Drain off the extra fat.
- Add the aromatics. Stir the garlic and ginger into the beef for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Simmer the sauce. Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin, chili garlic sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar and simmer 4 to 5 minutes until thick.
- Toss and serve. Add the noodles, toss to coat, then top with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Substitutions: Use ground turkey cooked to 165 degrees F, or swap the rice noodles for fettuccine.
Tips: The sauces are salty, so skip extra salt and taste before adding any.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat with a splash of water.
Nutrition does not include the optional sesame seeds.
