How to Make Ground Beef Chinese Style

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.

  4. Pour in 1 ½ cups beef broth, ¼ cup soy sauce, and 1 cup elbow macaroni.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until macaroni is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with green onions (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
