Ingredients

Scale

For the Meat Sauce

  • 1 lb. Ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp. Ginger paste
  • 5 tsp. Minced garlic
  • ½ cup Beef broth
  • ½ cup Soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup Hoisin sauce
  • Pepper and red pepper flakes to taste

For the Noodles

  • 1 box linguini noodles (about 12 oz)

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguini noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles well and set aside.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and sauté, breaking it up with a spatula until fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the ginger paste and minced garlic into the browned beef. Cook for another minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sprinkle in the brown sugar along with pepper and red pepper flakes to your taste. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld.
  5. Toss Noodles with Sauce: Add the cooked linguini noodles directly into the skillet with the beef and sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly so the noodles are evenly coated in the savory sauce.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Plate the noodles topped with optional green onions and sesame seeds for added color and crunch. Serve warm and enjoy your Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles!

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease in the dish.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute linguini with rice noodles or gluten-free pasta.
  • Adding fresh vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas can add crunch and nutrition.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
