Noodles and Beef

  • 8 oz lo mein noodles *See notes*
  • 1 lb lean ground beef like 90/10 or 93/7
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Cooking Instructions

  • Boil the noodles according to package instructions, but reduce the cooking time by about 1-2 minutes. Drain noodles and set aside.
  • Preheat griddle or large skillet to medium heat. Aim for a temperature of about 400°F.
  • While the noodles are boiling, prepare the sauce. Add beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch to a bowl and mix well. Mix in about 75% of the ginger and garlic, reserving the rest for later. Set the sauce to the side.
  • When the griddle or skillet is hot, begin cooking the ground beef in small chunks. Allow it to cook untouched for 2-3 minutes for a nice char.
  • When the beef is about halfway cooked through, add the whites of the green onions. Chop and sauté them together.
  • Move the beef to the side of the griddle to make room for the noodles.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to the griddle or skillet. Add the remaining minced garlic and ginger to toast briefly.
  • Add the drained noodles to the griddle and mix briefly to incorporate the garlic and ginger. Spread the noodles out and cook untouched for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked ground beef to the noodles and sauté briefly. Slowly pour in the prepared sauce.
  • Toss everything together, ensuring the sauce coats the noodles. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  • Sprinkle with the tops of the green onions and serve immediately.
