1-First, cook the linguine according to package directions, then drain and set aside. This ensures the noodles are ready when you need them without getting soggy.

2-Next, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, draining excess fat as needed. This step builds the base flavor for the dish.

3-Then, add the garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant, which brings out that irresistible aroma.

4-Stir in the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper. This mix creates the savory and sweet sauce that’s at the heart of the recipe.

5-Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water and add it to the skillet, stirring and bringing the sauce to a gentle boil until it thickens. Finally, add the cooked noodles, stir to combine, and let sit in the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes to absorb the flavors, then garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
