Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Sauté for about 5 minutes until browned. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger during the last 2 minutes.
  2. While the beef is browning, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Carefully drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and black pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Gradually stir this into the simmering sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat with sauce. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes to absorb flavors.
  6. Remove from heat and serve garnished with green onions.
