How to Prepare Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles:
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Prepare the linguini noodles following the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Step 2: Brown the Beef
In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain off any fat.
Step 3: Add Aromatics
Mix in the ginger paste and minced garlic, cooking for about a minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Make the Sauce
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar. Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Step 5: Simmer and Thicken
Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing it to reduce and thicken slightly.

Add the cooked linguini to the skillet, tossing to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce and beef mixture. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if you like.
