Instructions
First up, cook your linguine on the stove like the package says. Drain it well and set it aside so it doesn’t get mushy while you make the beef.
In the pressure cooker, brown that ground beef over medium-high. Stir it around so it doesn’t clump, you want it nice and crumbly.
Add minced garlic next and sauté about 1 to 2 minutes until you can smell its full flavor. Don’t burn it or it’ll get bitter.
Now stir in your brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. This mix is gonna build your sauce.
Set the cooker to pressure cook with a slow release for 5 to 7 minutes. This part thickens the sauce and lets flavors blend real good.
When the timer pops, you can do a quick release to stop the cooking fast. Just be careful around that steam, it’s hot.
Stir in your cornstarch slurry and cook on sauté for a couple of mins until sauce thickens more. This step is key for that clutch sticky texture.
Last step, toss in your cooked linguine and the sliced green onions. Mix it all until noodles soak up the sauce and serve warm. You got a plate full of comforting, hearty noodles ready to dive into.
Notes
Serve warm for best texture and flavor. Optionally garnish with additional green onions for a fresh finish.
