Step-by-Step Instructions for Ground Beef Spaghetti
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti, cooking for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat neutral oil over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, chili oil, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing with the beef and sauce. Incorporate reserved pasta water as needed for consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and drizzle sesame oil over the spaghetti. Add green onions and sesame seeds, tossing to combine.
