Ingredients used
- Ground beef- I like to use lean ground beef for this but you can also use ground pork, turkey or chicken.
- Soy sauce- I like using a low sodium soy sauce or a lite soy sauce to cut back on the sodium.
- Brown sugar- This adds a great sweetness and makes this a flavorful sauce.
- Toasted sesame oil- This adds so much flavor to this dish, a little goes a long way. It is the secret ingredient to the dishes rich flavor.
- Garlic- You can use fresh garlic or jarred, whichever you have on hand.
- Red pepper flakes- These add just the right amount of spice and flavor to these noodles.
- Green onions- The perfect pop of flavor and color.
- Beef broth- I also like to go with a low sodium beef broth to cut back on any salty flavor.
- Corn starch- This helps thicken the sauce and makes the sauce nice and glazy.
- Fettuccine noodles- Any type of noodles will work. You can use a lo mein noodle if you like but I just grab these fettuccine noodles or linguine noodles and they work great! You could also use ramen noodles or rice noodles if you prefer.
- Sesame seeds and scallions- for garnish, optional you can add
additional green onions.
