    Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add chili paste and stir to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Add rice noodles and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender but still slightly chewy.
