How to Make Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles:

Step 1: Cook Noodles: Cook the 1 box of linguini noodles according to package directions until they reach your liking (al dente is recommended), then drain well.

Step 2: Brown Ground Beef: Add the 1 lb ground beef to a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté until completely browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3: Add Aromatics: Stir in the 1 tbsp ginger paste and 5 tsp minced garlic, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Simmer Sauce: Mix in 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup hoisin sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Sauté for 10-15 minutes on low heat until the sauce reduces and thickens a bit.

Step 5: Combine and Serve: Stir the cooked noodles into the meat and sauce mixture and toss to coat well. Serve immediately, topped with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
