Noodles:
• water (to a boil)
• salt
• 170g any noodles- linguine, fettuccine, or spaghetti
-
Mongolian Beef:
• 1 tsp sesame oil (or olive oil)
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic
• 1 tbsp chopped ginger
• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup any broth (or water)
• 1 tsp corn starch + 1/4 cup water (arrow root starch works too)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes optional
• optional toppings: green onions, sesame seeds
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 ground beef 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, beef broth, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, & pepper. 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 and sesame seeds if desired.
