No need for takeout, this Mongolian Noodles recipe is made with ground beef and everyday ingredients. Best of all, it can be ready in just 15 minutes!
Mongolian noodles were one of my favorite meals when I was a kid. I loved going to the Mongolian restaurant and watching them cook it right in front of you. So you can imagine how excited I was when I was looking for a last-minute meal idea and saw this recipe for Mongolian beef made with ingredients I already had in my kitchen!
I tweaked the original recipe to suit my taste and its now a family favorite!
The first time I made this I didn’t have any rice noodles in the pantry but I did have regular pasta so I decided to try that. It was so delicious that I kept it in the recipe but you could easily use rice noodles instead for a more authentic Mongolian noodle dish.

How to Make Mongolian Noodles
I’m serious when I say this is a 15 minute recipe. Start your water boiling on the stove then brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Cook the pasta while you are making the meat and Mongolian sauce.
After the meat is browned and drained, we add the Mongolian sauce ingredients: hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground ginger, minced garlic, beef broth, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
At this point your kitchen is smelling pretty darn good, the family might start coming in asking when dinner is ready!
Drain the noodles and immediately add to the meat and sauce, stirring well to coat. Garnish with chopped green onion and you’re ready to go!
If you want to make this meal authentic substitute the linguini for rice noodles and use flank steak instead of ground beef. Cut the flank steak into strips against the grain and toss in flour before frying, then assemble the sauce and toss everything together.
Even my pickiest eater gobbled these Mongolian noodles up!
