Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes until hot.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Sauté for 7-10 minutes until browned.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until sugar dissolves.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked beef in the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
  5. Bring water to a boil in a separate pot and cook noodles until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  6. Toss the cooked noodles with the beef and sauce mixture in the skillet. Drizzle with sesame oil and mix for another minute.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm directly from the skillet.
