For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the ground beef with a touch of sesame oil. Adjust the amount of crushed red chili flakes to your preference; a pinch more can add a pleasant kick. If you don’t have rice wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute. Garnish with some shredded carrots for added texture and color.

01
Step

In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, approximately 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set aside.
02
Step

While the pasta cooks, crumble the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for about 4 minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Drain any excess grease.

Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Incorporate the ginger puree, brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, rice wine vinegar, and crushed red chili flakes. Stir well to combine.

In a small jar with a lid, combine the cornstarch and cold water. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously until you have a smooth, thick slurry. Pour this slurry over the beef mixture in the skillet.

Continue cooking over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in the cooked spaghetti, ensuring it's well coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
