Szechuan Noodles With Spicy Beef Sauce

Recipe #48760 | 30 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Sharon123

Tired of using ground beef the same old way? Try this spicy dish! Feel free to double the sauce if you like it really saucy! Update: the hoisin sauce is quite sweet, so you might start off with just a little and work your way up!

    This was pretty good and relatively quick to make. I found that it took about 45 minutes as opposed to the 30 listed. I used light soy sauce and about half of the hoisin sauce and crushed red pepper called for and it was spicy and sweet enough for our tastes. I will make this again and serve with some mushrooms and broccoli as suggested by another reviewer. Thanks for posting!

    This was very simple to make. I only had ground pork on hand so I used that. Also I only had a little bit of hoisin sauce so I used oyster sauce instead. Everyone in our house loved this, even my daughter who does not like meat. I made this in the morning and it reheated well for supper. Thanks for the recipe.

    This recipe was mentioned on one of the 'what's for dinner' threads and when I looked at it I knew it was going to be something my family would like. It's one of those a little bit of meat goes a long way type recipes..not to mention the great flavours. Quick and easy to put together. Thanks for sharing.
