Ah! Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles—a quick, flavorful stir-fry with tender noodles, savory-sweet sauce, and ground beef 🍜🥩. Here’s a simple recipe you can make at home.
🥢 Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles
Ingredients (2–3 servings)
- 8 oz (225 g) egg noodles, spaghetti, or ramen noodles
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced (optional)
- 3 green onions, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional, for sweetness)
- 1–2 tsp sesame oil
- 1–2 tsp vegetable oil for cooking
- Optional: red pepper flakes for spice
Instructions
- Cook noodles
Boil noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. - Cook beef
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef, cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. - Add aromatics
Stir in garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant. - Make the sauce
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Pour over beef.
Simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. - Combine with noodles
Add cooked noodles to the pan, tossing to coat evenly with sauce and beef. Cook 1–2 more minutes. - Serve
Garnish with green onion tops, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of extra sesame oil.
🌟 Tips
- For extra veggies: add bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas.
- Use hoisin or oyster sauce for a deeper flavor.
- For spicier noodles, add sriracha or chili flakes.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan slow-cooker version or oven-baked noodle casserole style that’s similar in flavor but even easier for busy nights.
