Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 16 oz ramen noodles (450g)

Meat

  • 2 lb ground beef, turkey or chicken (900g)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups snap peas, halved (147g)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce (120ml)
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce (120ml)
  • 1/4 cup water (60ml)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain well and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine low sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, water, cornstarch, fresh minced ginger, honey, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well and set aside.
  3. Cook Meat: Season the ground meat with salt and pepper. In a large wok or skillet over medium heat, cook the meat while breaking it into small pieces. Continue until the meat is fully browned. If there is a lot of grease, carefully remove some before proceeding. Push the cooked meat to the side of the pan.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: Add the grated carrot, diced red bell pepper, snap peas, and the white parts of the chopped green onions to the pan. Sauté the vegetables with the meat for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Add the minced garlic, stirring to combine for an additional minute.
  5. Combine Everything: Mix the cooked ground meat with the sautéed vegetables. Add the drained noodles and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss well to ensure the noodles and ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the Mongolian noodles with the green parts of the chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
