Ingredients

Scale

To make Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
  • 8 oz noodles (preferably egg noodles, but you can use rice noodles or spaghetti)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes or chili paste (optional, for heat)

Instructions

Prepare the Noodles:

  1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce:

  1. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and everything is well-mixed. Set aside.

Cook the Beef:

  1. Cook the Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove any excess grease from the pan.
  2. Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan with the beef. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Combine the Beef and Noodles:

  1. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the beef. Stir to coat the meat evenly in the sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss them with the beef and sauce, ensuring they are well-coated. Let everything heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Vegetables (Optional): If you’re using red bell pepper or other vegetables, add them now and cook for an additional 2 minutes until tender but still crisp.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Garnish: Serve the noodles in bowls, topped with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of chili flakes or chili paste for added heat, if desired. Enjoy!
