A savory and slightly sweet Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles recipe that combines tender ground beef, flavorful garlic and ginger, and a rich soy sauce-based sauce. Perfectly cooked egg noodles are tossed in the sauce, creating a quick and satisfying dish with a hint of heat from optional red pepper flakes. Garnished with green onions and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Noodles

  • 500 g ground beef
  • 250 g egg noodles or your choice of noodles

Sauce and Flavorings

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water or beef broth

Cooking Essentials

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  2. Heat Oil and Brown Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the cooked beef and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and aromatic.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and water or beef broth until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Combine Sauce with Beef: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the beef. Stir well and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the beef evenly.
  6. Add Heat: If desired, add the crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick and stir to combine thoroughly.
  7. Toss Noodles: Add the cooked noodles into the skillet. Toss and mix until the noodles are well coated with the beef and sauce mixture.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for a fresh, nutty finish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use beef broth instead of water for a richer sauce flavor.
  • Adjust the brown sugar amount to taste if you prefer sweeter or less sweet noodles.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • Egg noodles can be replaced with rice noodles for a gluten-free alternative if using gluten-free soy sauce.
  • Add vegetables such as bell peppers or broccoli for added texture and nutrients.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
