GROUND BEEF MONGOLIAN NOODLES

There is no food group that I love more than pasta! Recently, I’ve been enjoying Asian flavors and wanted to create an easy beef noodle recipe and came up with these mongolian beef noodles. This recipe can be made so quickly, it has become a staple on our weeknight table.

 Ground Beef Mongolian Noodles

I modeled my recipe after PF Chang’s Mongolian Beef with a sweet soy glaze, garlic, and green onions. However, instead of flank steak, I used lean ground beef. This is the perfect dish to satisfy all your quick fix Asian/Chinese food cravings and it’ll make your house smell amazing while cooking!

If you notice, there’s no salt in the beef and sauce mixture. Hoisin sauce tends to be salty and I haven’t found a low-sodium version of it yet. That’s also the reason I recommend using low-sodium soy sauce for this recipe.

๐ŸณEquipment you’ll need

Mongolian ground beef noodles

  1. For the ground beef – I used 90% lean ground beef. You can also use ground turkey, pork, or chicken.
  2. For the minced garlic. I recommend fresh garlic or jarred minced garlic in water instead of dried granulated garlic or dried garlic powder. Fresh has much more flavor than dried.
  3. For the ginger– If thereโ€™s one ingredient that you simply must use fresh, itโ€™s ginger. Dried ginger tastes nothing like fresh ginger. Ginger is a root, and it adds so much flavor to recipes. A little ginger goes a long way! Itโ€™s in the produce section of your grocery store. Itโ€™s inexpensive, and youโ€™ll need a very small knob. Furthermore, itโ€™ll last 3 to 4 weeks on the countertop.
  4. For the soy sauce. I highly recommend you use low-sodium soy sauce
  5. For the hoisin sauce. Hoisin is an Asian barbecue sauce that can be found in the International food section at your grocery store. There’s really no substitute for hoisin.
  6. Red Pepper. A reader recommended Assi brand red pepper, which is an authentic Asian brand. If you want to try it, you can purchase it here.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large skillet with high sides brown the ground beef on the stovetop. Add the ginger and garlic the last 2 minutes of browning the ground beef. Break up the meat as it cooks.
  • While the groundย beefย is cooking, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. (I recommend you do not salt the water.) Drain.
  • Drain the ground beef and return it to the skillet along with the soy sauce,ย beef broth,ย brown sugar, red pepper flakes, pepper, and hoisin sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add it to the ground beef mixture. Stir and bring the mixture to a low boil. After the sauce has thickened slightly add the drained noodles to the beef mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Allow the noodles to sit in the sauce a few minutes to absorb flavor. Serve hot with a garnish of sliced green onions.

  2. I used Pad Thai noodles and doubled the sauce. Absolutely delicious. Amazing how something so simple with items I already had stocked could be so yummy! Thanks!

  3. Hello! My family loves this recipe. I was wondering if you have suggestions to reduce the sodium in it outside of using low sodium ingredients?

  4. 5 stars
    We make this several times a month and love it. Sometimes use pork, which is awesome too.

  5. 5 stars
    I’ve made this many times now and it’s a family favorite! I double the sauce ingredients, reduce brown sugar to 1/4 cup and add shredded carrots & sugar snap peas when I have them.

    1. OMG I was just wondering how I could put a little spin on it, I had thought about the carrots but the sugar snapp peas sound like the perfect addition. Thanks ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I made this tonight, and this recipe is a keeper! I took advice from other comments and reduced the brown sugar slightly. I doubled the sauce since we are a sauce forward household. Cooked the whole box of noodles and let finish in the sauce. It was perfect like that! I did add a tablespoon of red chili paste, but it was really good without it too. Thanks for the recipe! (This is the 1st comment I have ever left on a recipe, we liked it that much)

  7. Recipe was really good. I made it with 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 turkey. Also added mushrooms and stemmed broccoli. I used less than a 1/4 cup of brown sugar and it still tasted great.

    1. 5 stars
      Made it per recipe, but add matchstick carrots with the garlic and ginger. Also used 8 oz fresh lo main noodles. Just the right amount of sauce and will absolutely make again.

  8. 5 stars
    Sounds great and I will try it as is first. How would you make this with rice?

    1. Make the sauce and then just ladle over top of the rice. I did this with Jasmine rice. It’s delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹
