  • Prep Time 20 minutes
  • Cook Time 20 minutes
  • Yield 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounce spaghetti broken in half
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 12 ounce bag coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce or hoisin
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup pasta water
  • optional toppings thinly sliced green onions, sriracha sauce, or chili garlic sauce


Instructions

  1. Boil the spaghetti in salted water until just tender. Drain, saving ½ cup of the pasta water and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  3. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and broth. Let it bubble for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Add the coleslaw mix and cooked noodles. Toss well and cook another 2-3 minutes until the cabbage softens but still has a little bite.
  6. Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Top with green onions or a little heat if desired.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option.
You can add any additional vegetables you like, such as bell peppers or snap peas.
For extra flavor, let the mix sit for a few minutes before serving.
