Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes or to taste

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 8 oz ramen noodles

Toppings

  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved to allow the sauce to thicken during cooking.
  2. Boil Water: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. This step ensures the noodles will be cooked properly, but hold off adding the noodles until later as they require only a few minutes to cook.
  3. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula as it browns. Once fully cooked, add the minced garlic and ground ginger to the beef and sauté for another minute to release their aromatic flavors.
  4. Cook the Noodles: Once the water is boiling, add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes. Take care not to overcook them to maintain a pleasant texture.
  5. Add the Sauce to the Beef: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the cooked ground beef in the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef.
  6. Combine Noodles and Beef: Drain the cooked ramen noodles and add them directly to the skillet with the saucy ground beef. Using tongs or a large fork, toss everything together to ensure the noodles are well coated with the flavorful sauce.
  7. Serve: Plate the Mongolian ground beef noodles and garnish generously with sliced green onions and sesame seeds to add freshness and a nutty crunch.

Notes

  • Nutrition information is an estimate and can vary depending on the brands and products used.
  • Do not overcook the ramen noodles to avoid mushy texture.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste.
  • This dish is best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • For gluten-free options, substitute soy sauce with tamari and use gluten-free hoisin sauce.
