  1. Fill a large pot with water, adding a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into pieces. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add soy sauce, chili oil, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to the beef. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
