How to Make Asian Style Ground Beef And Broccoli With Noodles

1. Cook 1 pound spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/4 cup black bean sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same pot used for the pasta.
4. Add 1 pound ground beef, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes, and 1/2 cup sliced onion. Cook until beef is browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with black pepper to taste.
5. Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup water to the beef mixture. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green (about 5-7 minutes).
6. Pour in the beef broth mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
7. Add the cooked spaghetti and 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or to taste). Stir over medium heat until heated through and well coated with the sauce.
8. Serve immediately and garnish with sesame seeds or green onions (optional).
