Ingredients
Scale
- 400 grams ground beef (minced beef) – preferably lean
- 1 medium onion – finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic – minced
- 1 inch ginger – peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes – optional, for heat
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks spring onions – sliced, for garnish
- 1 cup jasmine rice – cooked, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the chopped onion and stir-fry until translucent and aromatic, around 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger, continuing to stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to high and add the beef mince. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, ensuring any liquid has evaporated.
- Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and red chili flakes. Cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and glossy.
- Serve the beef mince over cooked jasmine rice, garnished with sliced spring onions.
Notes
- The dish is not actually Mongolian in origin but inspired by American-Chinese cuisine.
- Adjust the chili flakes to control the spice level.
- For a crispier texture, ensure the beef is well-browned and any excess liquid is evaporated.
- Works well with lean ground beef but can be made with other ground meats.
