• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 stalk celery, sliced
• 1 tablespoon dry sherry
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 6 ounces spaghetti
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, but still a little chunky, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 2

Whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, sherry, sesame oil, cornstarch, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add red bell pepper, onion, snow peas, celery, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Return ground beef to the skillet and mix well.

Step 5

Drain spaghetti and add to the skillet with sauce. Cook and stir until mixture is well combined and sauce has slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately and garnish with sliced green onions.
