Ingredients
  

  • 10 ounces 284 g rice noodles cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 pound 454 g ground beef 80/20 for a balance of fat and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger finely minced adds aromatic spice
  • 4 garlic cloves finely minced adds depth of flavor
  • Green onions sliced for garnish
  • White sesame seeds for garnish
For the sauce:
  • ½ cup 118 ml low-sodium soy sauce for a salty base
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce for color and richness
  • ½ cup 118 ml water to thin the sauce
  • ¼ cup 55 g brown sugar for sweetness
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch for thickening

Method
 

  1. Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
  2. Cook rice noodles according to the instructions on the package and set aside.
  3. In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of cooking oil. Once hot, add ground beef and break it into smaller pieces with a spoon or spatula. Cook until browned and there’s no pink left.
  4. Add the ginger and garlic to the beef. Cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour the sauce over the cooked beef and let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
