Instructions
How to Make Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles
- Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside while you prepare the beef.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook and stir until it's fully browned—about 5-7 minutes—then drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the minced garlic with the beef and sauté for about 1 minute.
- Pour in the brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir well and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour this mixture into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything together gently.
- Heap the noodles onto plates, and garnish generously with freshly sliced green onions. Serve hot and savor every bite!
Notes
Optional: For a fresh touch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
