Ingredients

1-2 packages udon noodles

1 tsp sesame oil

1 lb ground beef

6 cloves garlic (minced)

1 1/2 inches fresh ginger (grated)

1/2 white onion (sliced)

1 tbsp curry powder (Jamaican curry powder if you have it!)

1 tsp garlic powder

4 green onions (chopped)

1 cup broccoli (chopped)

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)

3 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 cup beef broth

3 tbsp hoisin sauce

1/2 cup soy sauce (low-sodium)

1 tbsp corn starch (cornflour) (to mix with water below)

1/4 cup water (for cornstarch slurry)

Directions

Cook the beef: In a hot pan, add sesame oil, then the ground beef, garlic, ginger, white onions, curry powder, and garlic powder (for that extra garlic punch). Brown for about 4 minutes over high heat.

Add the vegetables: Push the beef and onions to one side of the pan and add the green onions, broccoli, and basil.

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, beef broth, hoisin, soy sauce, and the corn starch slurry (corn starch mixed with water).

Combine everything: Add the sauce to the pan. Place the udon noodles on top of everything in the pan. Cover and let it steam together for 2 minutes, then toss everything together until well coated.

Serve hot and enjoy!
