Szechaun Noodles with Spicy Beef Sauce

Wow, this easy dish has a good kick! Use the dry crushed red pepper sparingly if you are sensitive to heat. I used about 1 tsp and it had a kick. This would be a good weeknight dish!!

1 lb ground beef
1 cup chopped sweet onion
2 tsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger
1/2 - 1 tsp of dry crushed red pepper (to taste)
1 tbl sesame oil
2 tbl cornstarch
3/4 cup beef broth
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbl soy sauce
8 ounces of won ton noodles
1/2 cup sliced green onions

Directions

Brown ground beef in a large skillet, stirring until it crumbles; drain keep warm. Pour sesame oil in skillet and heat until hot. Saute onion and next 4 ingredients until tender. Combine cornstarch and beef broth, whisking until smooth. Stir broth mixture, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce into onion mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
