Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles

This was awful. Too sweet and weird combo of flavor.

I added some green bell pepper for a slight crunch and I thought it was amazing

Used 1 tsp of red pepper flakes and made it too spicy. Should have stuck with a pinch.

Everyone loved it! I did not add the brown sugar. Doubled the recipe but tripled the sauce...it was a good idea.

I loved it but family wasn't crazy about it.

Very sweet but tastes good. I would use less brown sugar, and I would also suggest cooking the pasta a bit later in the recipe. I'd say that when the beef is done and the sauce is mixed, you can put the pasta in the boiling water so it's ready at the perfect moment.

Lovely dish very easy to make and sweet. Maybe a tad too sweet so I think I will add slightly less sugar over time to find a nice sweet balance for my personal liking. Overall amazing dish.

Tasty, though it's very sweet. Added broccoli and some sesame seeds. Not very healthy, but surely some satisfying comfort food! Easy to cook this dish :)

It was great. Added broccoli when boiling noodles

Great super easy? Per usual didn’t use the entire recommended pasta amount. Double next time. I added steamed carrots. Maybe try a brown sugar substitute?

Very good. In the future, I may add more spice and use shorter noodles as it was a pain to get the meat sauce to incorporate into the longer noodles. Used Beyond Meat. Otherwise followed the recipe.

Lovely and really easy recipe to make.

My husband absolutely loves this recipe, I've made it twice this month and it reheats just as good. I usually double the amount of sauce from the recipe though.

Very tasty, followed exactly. Wasn't sure which type of soy so did half dark, half light. Will be making again. Would halve meat to pasta recipe next time or save half the meat for another meal.

My family loved it, even my nephew who’s a bit picky. I used a cut of beef instead as I prefer the texture but it was delicious.

I added red bell pepper to it for extra taste! Was really delicious

Great recipe, good level of spice, but I used a different noodle. Would definitely make again

My husband and I thought the flavor was great. The only change I would make would be to use stir-fry beef instead of ground beef, and we like more heat so I would use more pepper flakes. We didn't find it to be too sweet.

One word..Delicious oh..make it 2..and easy.No too sweet I put an additional bell pepper.

Used Vermicelli Noodles instead and it came out super delicious - added my hot sauce afterwards for a stronger kick

Me and my boyfriend LOVED this! Its super filling and very good. I personally think it is very sweet, so I might try less brown sugar next time and maybe some chili oil. Very easy to make and tastes good reheated too!

Way too much ginger 🤢

Was quite happy with the results of the recipe. Would make it again.

Delicious 😋 I have to double the recipe. My family loved it.

Really good! I am glad that I read the comments. I doubled everything in the sauce recipe except for the brown sugar. I served with rice noodles because I am gluten free. The whole family loved it

sooo good love it

I would make this again. I could also add some veggies if I wanted to make it healthy. Over all quick, easy, and my kiddo loved it

Taking notes from others that made this and following no allium diet. I doubled the sauce ingredients except for the sugar I did just under the 1/3 cup. I did 2/3 cup soy 6 tbls hoisin and tsp of the dry pepper and ginger. Added cornflour to sauce mixture as I was making it whilst waiting for the beef to cook. I also added mushrooms as they needed using. It's definitely going to be a takeaway replacement meal and next time I'll switch the meat and noodles maybe add broccoli bamboo and water chestnuts too

It was very sweet. Almost too sweet for me

Great choice, I used egg noodles instead of pasta. Seemed more appropriate for the flavor profile. Added a sprinkle of white pepper. Very nice lunch when served with roasted broccoli!

My bad. I can't read my measuring spoons any more, and I think I mistook my tsp for my tbsp. So I'll give it another try. But it sure came out pretty dry and lackluster.

This was very good and came together quickly. My hubs loved it. I used gluten-free fettuccine cooked al denté, and subbed gochujang for the red pepper flakes. *Tips: Chop extra green onions for garnish. Beforehand, you'll want to mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and taste for the perfect spicy/sweet balance. Make extra sauce, it's good. Then simply pour it into the browned beef, and mix in your onion and noodles. Fast and easy! I'll definitely make this again.

Doubled all ingredients except the sugar. Used the amount listed on the recipe. It was a hit, my whole family liked it

Delicious. Easy. Easy to adjust ingredients to taste. Recommended.

Umm, this was more like dessert than dinner, and a distinct lack of veggies. I didn't like it but my wife and son did.

It truly takes no more than 15 minutes. I was afraid it would just taste like soy sauce, but it's actually the best noodles recipe I've ever tried!

I edited it quite a bit... Added double the sauce with a little less brown sugar + some roasted broccoli, it's great!

This was good, a little on the sweet side . I would decrease brown sugar by at least half.

Will make again was little too salty

Needs more sauce but other than that it was great. No complaints from the kids and plenty left over for another dinner

Make sure noodles are done!

We added broccoli!

Too sweet, will reduce the brown sugar next time. Doubled the sauce like the reviews recommended.

Added too much garlic but it was a great meal.

Felt it was just spicey mince

2 X the sauce

I doubled the sauce as per the reviews and every9ne loved it

Great flavor! I would add more sauce and some veggies.

Consensus is to double the sauce. I agree.

Doubled the sauce, used 16 oz whole grain pasta, and used the pasta water instead of cornstarch. It could do with a bit more spice.

Easy to make, would be good with broccoli, double next time

Mom loved it!

Odd aftertaste

Double the sauce but with the hoisin sauce and brown sugar, it maybe too sweet for some. I will only use one serving of brown sugar next time.

Double sauce

More sauce

Really good, double the sauce and add veggies. I did broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots

Make extra sauce, the noodles soak it up

It turned out pretty good. Doubled the wet ingredients like i saw mentioned but I think that was too much wet. It does need some extra amount of wet though. Also added green beans and cauliflower.

Added brocoli for some freshness

Double the wet ingredients so that your noodles aren't dry!

Next time, I'd use a different type of noodle, possibly a thinner pasta. I also doubled the seasoning amounts, to ensure the dish had enough flavor. But, my daughter said it was good-tasting & interesting.

Such a good recipe, it was a hit for my entire family! The only thing I did differently was use thinly sliced chicken breast for our protein. We will be adding it to our monthly meal rotation!

Needs a bit more spice, such as fresh chili. Also added coriander to give it another dimension, and replaced the brown sugar with honey.

Used cane sugar instead as I ran out of brown, was a tad too sweet but still very delicious. Added some black sesame seeds. Couldn't find hoisin sauce either, not sure how much that impacts the dish. Edit: made it again with hoisin sauce and half the suggested amount of brown sugar and it was just about sweet enough and still very tasty. Added broccoli too.

Really enjoyed but if I made again I'd double the sauce just bc I like saucier pasta

Very tasty and simple, definitely will make again

Added broccoli. Really easy and a nice new way to use ground beef

Tasty! I didnt have ginger so I omitted it. Replaced hoisen sauce with worcestershire sauce and it worked out nicely. Next time I'd double or 1.5 the sauce to make a little more... or make a little less pasta 😅

It's a winner. Marginally better than Miso ramen with sausages

Cooked up some green vegetables separately and added them in. Also, adjusted the sauces a bit to my taste. Turned out good.

Husband liked this a lot. I think it was pretty good, though it was a little oily and quite sweet for my palate (and i even did 1/4 cup brown sugar instead of the 1/3 that it called for). I think some added broccoli florets would taste great. Other than reducing the brown sugar a bit, I made this with pappardelle instead of linguine and used oyster sauce instead of hoisin. I also added garlic hot chili paste. Will be making again as it's so easy and really quite good.

Delicious and simple! One note, if subbing vegan meat, don't bother with cornstarch, it didn't need to be thickened. Otherwise excellent!

This is a 10/10. I will be making this often for meal planning. It's cheap and makes a ton of food. I added spice to balance it out. I also added fresh onions, green onions, garlic, and a ton of extra seasonings

2 lbs beef, 1 box (1 lb) linguine, triple sauce (except still 1/3 C brown sugar max) 2-3 Broccoli crowns, florets 4-5 carrots, matchstick chop 24 oz mushrooms, sliced Spinach Wok sear veggies in batches (not spinach, sear mushrooms separately & longer for better browning). Add Crushed red pepper flakes to sauce mixture. Add veggies to sauce/meat/noodles mixture at end.

I just added some broccoli to it and it was very delicious. A little on the sweet side but I didn't mind.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

8.5/10. i did less hoisin sauce and replaced it with gochujang for some spicyness. i added my own greens in it (spinach). very fast to make, one pan.

Was OK but tasted like a lot of soy

Next time I would add less brown sugar. It was very sweet. Otherwise, delicious!

I added gojujang and use approx 1 tsp of dried chili flakes. Family enjoyed it, easy to make and could easily add veggies if desired

Don't add the sugar next time. Too sweet

Delicious and quick, but definitely use less sugar next time.

I stir-fried a ton of veggies and added them to the beef and sauce mixture while the noodles cooked. I also doubled the sauce recipe to account for all the vegetables. Was absolutely delicious, and my two young kids (5&4) loved it! My husband and I added Thai red chili peppers to ours as we enjoy spicy food. Highly recommend!

Cut the noodles down to 8oz, added stir fry veggies

This recipe is simple to make and delicious! I substituted spaghetti for linguine because it's what I had on hand. The sauce and ground beef clung to the noodles and was very tasty.

Very easy, I added stir fry vegetables and made it too spicy, but it is still very good.

Half the brown sugar.

Didn't have hoisin sauce on hand so added a couple tbsp of peanut butter. Used rice noodles instead of linguine and plan to do the same from now on. Definitely agree with other reviews, this recipe is heavy on the brown sugar! Needs a veggie or two to balance everything out.

Loved how quickly this dish comes together. I also cut the brown sugar in half and I think it is much better this way.

It was ok, very sweet. Not a hit with the family

these were soooo tasty!! i made it with yaki-soba noodles instead of linguine. will def be making this again.

We doubled the spices and used a full pound of linguine. We forgot the red flakes, and this was seriously sweet! So if you skip red pepper flakes, cut brown sugar in half. And if you use red pepper flakes, think about cutting brown sugar in half!

Amazing asian taste!

Stuck to the recipe (a first for me). Used Beyond Beef and added steamed broccoli. Loved this recipe. It reminded me of Ants Climbing on a Tree recipe that I make all the time.

Very tasty & lightly spiced mongolian flavour. It was especially nice with my home made pasta. I'll definitely make it again.

Doubled the sauce amounts. Used whole 1lb box of pasta. Added 1 cup of frozen peppers and onions for substance.

It was great! We don't super love ginger so we left it out.

I added broccoli because I didn't feel like making an entire meal consisting of beef and noodles

Very simple and quick dinner. I made a mistake and didn't drain fat, so it came out a bit greasy. Next time, I will cut sugar a little bit.

Definitely doubled the sauce and added Korean BBQ sauce instead if hoison because I didn't have any. So good. Definitely would add more spice next time.

Didn't have Linguine so just used spaghetti noodles but still turned out great!

I have always thought this would be weird with ground beef. Made it anyways and it was delicious. I read someone’s note about adding yellow pepper. I will do that next time, although it was really good without it. I also used 8 oz of noodles instead of 10 because I thought it would be too ‘noodley’ and it’s not in my blood to follow a recipe but I was wrong. It needs the 10 oz! My family loved it. We topped with yum yum sauce and green onion!

Delicious flavor! As for deviations, I used rice noodles instead of linguine, added yellow bell pepper and topped off with chili oil.

German Boyfriend approved. I made exactly to the recipe and it turned out exact. To those complaining about the sweetness, it's a matter of taste. This is pretty spot on.

This is so good! I used plant based “beef” crumbles instead and it is still super tasty. It was so easy to make.

Very easy and tastes great! Perfect with steamed or roasted broccoli.

So good! Next time I make this because I definitely will we’re going to add some veggies in. I would also add in some more seasoning. This is such a quick and easy dinner, I premade the sauce while the beef was cooking and in total with the pasta cooking I think it took me all of 20mins to toss together.

SOO yummy! Doubled the sauce, but kept the meat the same, and did 8 oz of angel hair pasta.

This recipe is super simple and super easy. I doubled the sauce added a full box of linguine and added asian stir fry vegetables. The kids love it and it only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. Highly recommend for an easy asian meal!

Definitely use spaghetti noodles, I used Ramen and it just got all mushy

Great fresh, but leftovers are terrible and get mushy overnight. Would not recommend for meal prep.

I made 1 1/2 times as much "sauce" cause I added Napa cabbage and carrots. I also added cilantro and sesame seeds when serving. It was really good!

I made this last week, and it was delicious. I made two versions of them: one with ground turkey, because thats what my boyfriend grabbed from the deep freeze and one paneer because we had people who are vegitarian and prefer paneer. Both versions were delicious! Both dishes were finished by the end of the night. I'm making it again today for someone else. Hopefully I remember to take a picture.

The family loved it

Have made many times, this time I used a mixture of pasta, topped with cheese and baked in oven to finish off . Very tasty, can change the sauces used to modify the flavour to suit your taste. Great recipe.

Substituted ground venison for beef. I doubled the sauce. It was easy and quick. Pretty decent for a weeknight meal.

It was very tasty. Used angel hair instead for the noodles.

Too sweet for our taste. We left out the red pepper because of the kids and the ginger because of my husband.

Easy and good. I was out of hoisen sauce so I used black bean and garlic with Sriracha sauce with mushrooms and peas and there were 0 leftovers. I think it would be good in a rice bowl too.

Delicious! I used teriyaki sauce instead of hoisin and substituted Thai Rice noodles. My husband loved it!

Very flavorful! My entire family loved it!! Will definitely make again!

Substituted teriyaki sauce for hoisin sauce & onions for green onions, added fresh carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, and green beans

Made this for the first time and it turned out great! I used a little more of each ingredient for the sauce and it was moist enough!

Pretty delicious. Made just how the recipe listed. I didnt find it too overly sweet. Has a nice bite with the red pepper flakes. If I was to add anything, I'd try a can of drained French cut green beans mixed in. I have a feeling leftovers will be even better the next day. Thank you for the recipe, I did enjoy it.

We love this recipe! Great flavor. We have made it many times, for ourselves and for friends.

It was great and lovely not sure it should be very hot but was good enough for me. It took more than the stated time and added more water as it seemed a dry sauce. Other than that I would do it again although I did do extra hope it will freeze okay

Delicious. I added lots of veggies and heat to mine. Will definitely make again.

It was absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

I can say it's a nice and easy recipe was, had a strong flavour from the sauce and the spices so you have to be careful, the only downside for it was a bit dry, I better like to get more sauce probably next time I'll cook less with the sauce, but it was really good!

I didn't have hoosier sauce, and instead added a little fish sauce and a little teriyaki sauce. It tasted amazing!! Even my 5 year old devoured it!

Added stirfry veggies and cut back on the brown sugar.

Next time I would add a veggie like broccoli

We all thought it was okay but not great enough to make again

Loved it. Will make again!

A little salty but still pretty good. We used soya sauce and egg Noodle which was really good. My next attempt I will try it with the pasta and less soya sauce

Fam loved it!

Update: made it again and did it right this time. I used a tri tip steak instead of ground beef on this batch and it was amazing. I am using rice noodles which aren't the best imo. but this can be a really good dish. I feel like it's missing something, can't quite place my finger on it.

Yummy. Didn't add anywhere near as much sugar or soy sauce and it was lovely.

Definitely a new go-to, I followed what everyone was saying by adding less brown sugar! The family loved it. I am going to try different proteins soon and keep the noodle base.

Super yummy, everyone is right, too much sugar. Next time I'll add carrots.

I took the advice of throwing in a bag of stir fry veggies and cutting the amount of brown sugar. Came out so good! I also used ground turkey instead of beef. Mine was a bit dry, but I think I used a bit too many noodles. Even the picky 10 year old liked it

Not bad added 3 tbsp brown sugar instead next time I’ll add broccoli ect sweet n salty not bad at all

Swapped the beef for ground pork because it's what we had. Added a package of stir fry veggies after and it was awesome!

Followed the other suggestions for less brown sugar (2 packed tbsps). Actually I think it would be fine with 3. Didn’t have hoisin sauce so put in 2 tbsp of Korean gochujang sauce (not paste) and a chicken bouillon cube since I had no stock…accidently dissolved the entire cute which made it salty so next time I think I would omit the stock and just add water. Added shredded carrots and green onion at the end which gave it a kick. Kids loved it regardless of the saltiness.

Family loved it. Added a bag of riced cauliflower to the ground beef to sneak in a serving of veggies. Used rice noodles instead of linguine.

My family enjoyed this but I guess I added too much red pepper for some! Substituted yellow onion and sauté in sesame oil first.

This was so good, it was sweet and salty at the same time. It was really easy too, it only took about 20-25 minutes. I definitely recommend that you make this.

Made for 2. Made full recipe (but 1/2 the noodles) and intended to save half the mince, but resulting portion size would be a bit small. Not sure what type of sugar, so used soft light brown. Used Oxo for beef broth. Really tasty.

Delicious. Two year old approved if you skip the red pepper flakes. We added them to our individual servings at the end.

Great recipe! I used fettucine noodles, and they were perfect. I also added finely chopped carrots and mushrooms to add nutrients. Plus, a dash of cayenne pepper, because it was a little too sweet for me with the hoisin sauce and brown sugar.

It needs a veg will definitely make again but will add brocoli and mushrooms

I used lo mein noodles, added broccoli and mushrooms, and doubled up on the sauce. Fabulous!

I added broccoli and sesame seeds, left out the brown sugar.

I made a pound of linguine instead of 10oz but the recipe was delicious! Will be making again soon!

Delicious! A definite keeper!

Recipe as listed slaps pretty good. It's sweet as described, I would suggest cutting the sugar by 25% and maybe use one less clove of garlic. Other than that very tasty and stores and re heats very well.

Tastes great and simple to make

This was delicious! I would absolutely make this again and did not have to tweak anything either.

Super tasty and exceptionally easy. Unfortunately, I cooked 1/4LB too much of beef mince so the ratio was off a bit. However, the taste was lovely and sweet and the linguine was the perfect pasta to pair it with.

Very easy and quick to make. Sweet and spicy. I added a little more broth.

I swore I was not going to eat it because of the brown sugar but I only used a 4th of a cup of very loosely scooped brown sugar which kept it from carmelizing and being way too sweet. I ended upeating almost all of this! Shhh, don't tell anyone!The ingredients are simple, the meat and noodles exceptionally easy to cook. This is a fast, easy go to on a busy week night.

Instead of ground beef and linguine, I used beef strips and Udon noodles. I also happened to have turmeric and sesame oil, which made it taste a little extra yummy! Thanks for the awesome recipe; went well for date night.

It was good, but next time l'd cut the sugar by at least half and add more spice

It was a bit salty, but very good. Might try it with broccoli next time.

I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would and its very simple

Definitely add broccoli and more spice. Very 1 dimensional as is.

Make with steak or roast next time

cook noodles longer

Was too sweet if a dish, and kinda blah. I added veggies into the pot for a little more flavor, but it was nothing that great.

It was alright, probably won't be a go-to recipe.

Delicious. We used thinly sliced flank steak. This would also be delicious with chicken and pork. Next time, I will double the sauce and definitely add vegetables.

Did not reheat well

Amazing !

I would multiply the sauce ingredients by 1.5 to have a more saucy component. I also would use flank steak instead of ground beef and add some broccoli or peppers!

I didn't realize I ran out of hoisin sauce, so I replaced it with Worcestershire sauce. I doubled the sauce (and starch slurry) to make up for the extra ounces of stir-fry noodles and stir-fry veggies I added. Served with a side of white rice and my boyfriend likes spicier food so I topped his with a little hot oil. It was so good, will for sure make again.

added frozen stir fry veggies. our new go to stir fry recipe for sure

Pretty good, added veg so upped the sauce a little

Really good. Whole family liked it. I did three tbsp of b sugar. 1/2 cup of water and 1 tsp of beef base instead of broth. I did 1/4 cup of soy sauce. Used 8oz of noodles and 1.5lbs of ground beef.

Added some frozen stir fry veggies. Tasted great!

Prep took me 25 min, not 5. Used 3 tbsp of sugar instead of 1/3-cup. Sprinkled corn starch instead of making a slurry. Used bucatini. Used half low sodium and half regular soy sauce. Dry. Could use more beef broth and less noodles. I accidentally used 16 oz noodles. DEFINITELY USE LESS PASTA. Dish is still dry.

Added vegetables (red peppers, broccoli and matchstick-cut carrots) just after garlic and doubled the sauce amount. Whole family loved it!

Yums but needed some green in there..wish I'd seen Brocolli recommendation in other review..would have worked well

I used steak instead of g. Beef and most of the measurements I ignored, I use recipes as a starting place and make it my own but it was very good. I also added broccoli.

Really good.... added broccoli.

Sauce was a little sticky for my liking so I'd add less cornstarch. Would be good with some added veggies.

Added diced onions and red pepper and some sesame oil to jazz it up a bit.

The sauce seemed a little thick to me, but it was delicious and easy to make.

Added onion and shredded carrots, followed recipe exactly otherwise. Was a huge hit, even with super picky son, and pretty easy to put together.

Reduce sugar from 1/3c to 3 Tablespoons ( per 450g mince)

Pretty sure, at this point, my boyfriend only wants me for these quick, stupid easy, and infinitely build-on-able noods. God forbid he ever learn to make them himself--although, it might encourage him to wash the dishes more. Still tasty as leftovers (I used a full 16 oz of linguine), but needs a little bit of a sauce reupper since it dries out in the fridge.

Definite go to. Very easy and yummy. Serve with a veggie.

Really good! Added broccoli to get some veggies in it.

Didn’t have any ginger or green onions still came out good!

This was really good. I forgot to get green onions, so substituted chives. Also we used pad Thai noodles instead of linguine. I served it with zucchini and peas as sides.

Added mushrooms, courgette and carrot to make it a full meal/stir fry. Delicious - but we only used half the brown sugar the recipe says, and that was plenty sweet enough! Quick and easy, we'll have it again.

My family really liked this, I found it a little too sweet. I will adjust the sweetness next time but other than that it’s a great, easy meal!

Too sweet for my families tastes. But will definitely adapt it to our liking.

Would be delicious with steak in place of ground beef

Well THAT went over well!!! 3/4 of us had seconds & SOMEone even reheated the leftovers for BREAKFAST the next day!!!This is one of the best recipes I've tried from this app!!! Honestly, this is one of the best received recipes I've ever made my family! We will DEFINITELY be making this again SOON! I served this Thai Cucumber Salad and the two together were a match made in heaven! https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/thai-cucumber-salad-peanuts
