Recipe

Finely mince the white part of the large green onion and the onion.
Bring a generous pot of salted water to a boil, cook the pasta slightly less than the timer indicates, then drain (reserve some pasta water).
Heat a pan with cooking oil, add half the ground beef (80g), and press it down while stir-frying until crispy and golden brown to boost flavor.
Add the minced large green onion and onion, stir-fry until translucent, then add the remaining half of the ground beef (80g) and stir-fry just until cooked.
Drizzle a little soju around the pan to deglaze the browned bits and eliminate any off-odors.
Pour in enough water or pasta water to just cover the bottom, bring to a boil to create a meat broth, then add the cooked pasta and store-bought tomato sauce, tossing until the sauce coats the noodles.

Stir-fry half the ground beef until crispy, then add minced large green onion, onion, and the remaining beef.
Deglaze the pan with soju, add water to just cover the bottom, and bring to a boil.
Add the cooked pasta and store-bought tomato sauce, toss to combine.

Cooking tips

The key is stir-frying the meat in two stages. The first batch provides deep savoriness, while the second adds tender texture.
Use the white part of the large green onion for its sweetness rather than the green part, which releases more liquid.
Adding too much tomato sauce can mask the clean beef flavor, so use just enough for seasoning.
