Description
These Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles are savory, slightly sweet, and packed with bold flavor. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, this dish combines juicy ground beef, a rich umami sauce, and slurp-worthy noodles all in one comforting bowl.
Ingredients
8 ounces noodles (spaghetti or egg noodles)
1 pound ground beef (lean recommended)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced or grated
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Boil a large pot of water and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
3. Add garlic and ginger to the pan, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil.
5. Pour the sauce into the beef mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
6. Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss to combine. Let cook for another 2–3 minutes until heated through.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
Notes
Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease.
Spaghetti, lo mein, or egg noodles all work well in this recipe.
Adjust the sweetness or saltiness of the sauce to your liking.
