Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Sauce

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 4 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Noodles and Thickener

  • 8 oz linguine or fettuccine noodles
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Garnish

  • 4 green onions (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking to infuse the flavors into the beef.
  2. Cook Noodles: Meanwhile, prepare the linguine or fettuccine noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
  3. Combine Sauce Ingredients: Drain excess fat from the cooked beef in the skillet. Add brown sugar, low-sodium beef broth, low-sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir the mixture well to combine all flavors.
  4. Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour this slurry into the beef mixture in the skillet and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Toss Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the Mongolian sauce. Let the noodles sit in the skillet for 2-3 minutes so they can absorb the flavors from the sauce.
  6. Serve: Serve the noodles garnished with sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and calories.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add some chili garlic sauce.
  • You can substitute linguine with fettuccine or other long pasta varieties.
  • Ensure the noodles are cooked al dente to avoid sogginess after tossing in the sauce.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce and beef broth keep the salt content moderate; adjust seasoning as desired.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and pasta alternatives.
