Ingredients
  

  • 1 stalk celery chopped
  • 8 oz lean ground beef
  • ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • ¼ cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp sugar
For the Sauce:
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Method
 

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, chopped celery, sliced red onion, matchstick carrots, salt, and sugar. Sauté until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine with the beef and vegetables.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice cooking wine, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Pour the sauce over the spaghetti mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.
