Ingredients

For the noodles:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • ½ medium onion (thinly sliced)
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
For the sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For garnish:
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • sliced green onion

Instructions

  • Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Cook the noodles. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  • Brown the beef. While the spaghetti cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking it into pieces as it cooks.
  • Cook the veggies. Add the sliced onions and carrots to the other side and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir together with the beef.
  • Add the sauce. Add the green onion and bulgogi sauce into the skillet and stir until evenly coated. Allow it to simmer until heated through. Then, add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat.
  • Garnish and serve. Sprinkle sesame seed and additional green onion if desired. Serve immediately.
