How to Make Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
Step 3: Build the Sauce
Add minced garlic and ginger to the beef and cook briefly until fragrant. Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, and beef broth. Sprinkle in cornstarch and stir well to avoid lumps.
Step 4: Simmer and Thicken
Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the beef. The aroma will become rich and savory.
Step 5: Combine with Noodles
Add the cooked noodles directly to the skillet. Toss gently until the noodles are fully coated in sauce.
Step 6: Finish and Garnish
Drizzle with sesame oil if using, then sprinkle with sliced green onions. Stir once more and remove from heat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles hot, straight from the pan. You can add steamed broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra color and texture. A sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a nice finishing touch.
