Let the sauce cook for 3 minutes to allow the ground beef to absorb the flavors.
Transfer the cooked noodles to the ground beef mixture. Mix thoroughly and allow to cook to thicken sauce.
Top with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Recipe Notes
If needed add 2 tbsp water and 1 tbsp cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Stir fry noodles can used instead of linguine.
