Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles


Ingredients:—-


1 lb ground beef


5 cloves garlic, minced


1/3 cup brown sugar


1/4 cup beef broth


1/3 cup soy sauce


3 tablespoons hoisin sauce


1/2 teaspoon ground ginger


1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


Pinch of red pepper flake (optional for a spicy kick)


10 oz linguine


1 tablespoon cornstarch


2 tablespoons water


4 green onions, sliced for garnish

Directions:——


Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling water. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.


Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat as needed.


Add Aromatics and Sauces: Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, add the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flake. Stir to combine.


Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth and stir into the skillet. Bring to a gentle boil; the sauce will thicken.
Combine with Noodles: Toss the cooked noodles in the skillet, ensuring they are fully coated with the sauce. Allow to simmer together for 2-3 minutes.


Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the noodles and serve hot.
