Tips on How to Make Mongolian Beef Pasta Salad:

  • The recipe includes an easy Mongolian beef sauce to dress the salad but you can definitely make things easier by using bottled Mongolian sauce sold in stores.
  • The rotini’s spiral ridges are great for soaking up the flavorful sauce but feel free to swap with penne or whatever short pasta you have on hand.
  • Extract the juice from freshly grated ginger to use for the dressing so this way, you get all the flavor but without peppery bits to bite into. Or you can substitute the fresh ginger juice with about 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger if you like.

Give this Mongolian beef pasta salad a try. You’ll definitely love its sweet and savory taste and how quick and easy it is to make for weeknight dinner meals or for large gatherings. Enjoy!

    This looks too good to eat! It is definitely more carbs that I eat in one day but I could see myself splitting this up into two or three meals. Pasta is one of my go-to “reward” dishes because it always reheats well for leftovers 🙂

    This dish is so good. I had it before and find that it tastes better the next day. I find sesame seed oil to burn quickly, what would be a good alternative?

      Hi Cocoa! The sesame oil adds a distinct flavor and it blends very well with the beef.It won’t really get heated because it is for the dressing.You can replace with olive oil, if you prefer:)
