Ingredients
  

Noodles
  • 12 ounces egg noodles Can substitute with rice noodles for gluten-free options.
Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef Can swap for ground turkey or chicken.
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Can use olive oil in a pinch.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Feel free to add more for extra flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated Ground ginger can be used as a substitute, but use less.
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas) Fresh or frozen both work well.

Method
 

Cooking the Noodles
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 5-7 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside, drizzling with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Browning the Beef
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and fully cooked. Use a spatula to break up any large chunks, ensuring even cooking.
Adding Aromatics
  1. Once the beef is browned, add minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir together and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the fragrant oils to release.
Incorporating Veggies
  1. Next, add the mixed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften yet still retain some crunch.
Mixing in the Sauces
  1. Drizzle the soy sauce and the remaining sesame oil over the beef and veggie mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly, letting the mixture simmer for a minute more to enhance the flavors.
Combining with Noodles
  1. Gently fold the cooked noodles into the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet, tossing until everything is well mixed and heated through. You want the noodles to soak up all that delicious sauce!
Serving
  1. Once everything is combined and warmed through, plate your Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles and garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy the vibrant colors and comforting aroma as you dig in!
