Description
A quick and delicious recipe for Mongolian beef noodles with tender vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup diced onions
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3–4 cups fresh or frozen mixed vegetables
- 6–8 oz udon noodles
- ½ cup soy sauce or liquid aminos
- ¼–½ cup brown sugar or sweetener
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups broth
- 2–3 teaspoons chili onion crunch (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add your ground beef. Break it up with a spatula or meat chopper and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Season it with smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Toss in your chopped onions and minced garlic. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the onions soften and everything smells amazing.
- Toss in your fresh or frozen mixed vegetables. Let them simmer for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Whisk the cornstarch in a bowl or cup with the broth. In the same pot, pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch broth mixture. Stir well to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- If you’re adding chili onion crunch, add it now.
- Add the noodles straight to the pot. Stir and ensure the broth and sauce completely covers and coats the noodles.
- Place the lid on the pot and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Grab your tongs or wooden spoon, toss everything together one more time, and serve hot.
Notes
- Ground turkey, ground chicken, and ground sausage can be used as alternatives for ground beef.
- Ramen noodles can also be used instead of udon noodles.
- Bone broth adds extra protein.
- Chili onion crunch can be adjusted based on your spice preference.
