Additional options:
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes: For a spicy kick.

Instructions
Begin by putting all of your ingredients together in one location. Cut your ginger and Garlic finely, then cut green onions thinly to garnish. If you’re adding veggies, cut them into small pieces to ensure even cooking. To cook noodles, prepare them according to the directions on the packet; however, leave them slightly underdone as they’ll be cooked in the sauce later.
Add oil in a thin drizzle in a large pan or wok at medium to high temperature. Once the oil is heated and the Beef is cooked, add it to the skillet and break it up using a spatula as it begins to brown. Cook until there is no sign of pink, after which you can drain the excess fat.
After that, mix in the minced ginger and Garlic. Then, cook for another moment, allowing the aromatics to let their flavors out. This is the first step to laying the groundwork for Mongolian Ground Beef noodles’ rich and bold flavor.
In a bowl small enough, mix the brown sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce. Serve it over the browned Beef, stir it well, and let it thicken while simmering for a few minutes.
Incorporate the noodles cooked into the skillet and toss them gently to coat them with the sauce. If you’re adding other vegetables, add them at this point and cook until tender-crisp.
Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. Add more soy sauce, salt, and brown sugar to add sweetness and chili flakes for the heat. Once everything is incorporated, the noodles should be shiny and fragrant. They are now waiting to be eaten.
