How To Make Easy Mongolian Ground Beef Recipe:

• Start by browning some hamburger along with garlic and ginger in a skillet.

• Stir in a mixture of cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce.
• Season with crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper and green onions.

What is Mongolian Sauce Made Of?

Mongolian sauce is a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar and hoisin sauce. It’s seasoned with garlic, ginger and a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes as well as black pepper. The more red pepper you add, the spicier the dish will be. The sauce is thickened with a cornstarch and water slurry. Just before serving, toss in some sliced green onions to bring a fresh flavor to the sauce.

What To Serve with Mongolian Beef:
