instructions
    1

    Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat.

    2

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until it is browned and crumbly.

    3

    While the beef is cooking, chop the onion and mince the garlic.

    4

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat if needed, and add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet.

    5

    Cook them together for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

    6

    Next, pour in the beef broth and water, and bring it to a boil.

    7

    Once boiling, stir in the noodles and soy sauce.

    8

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    9

    After 15 minutes, check if the noodles are tender and the liquid has mostly absorbed. If so, remove from heat.

    10

    Season with pepper to taste and serve hot.
