What goes into the Mongolian Beef Ramen Egg Rolls?

To make these quick and easy appetizers, you will need:

  • Canola oil (or another neutral oil) for frying and cooking. If air frying, you’ll only need a small amount of oil to cook the egg rolls in, and a cooking spray.
  • Sesame oil.
  • Angus steak bacon.
  • Low sodium soy sauce.
  • Dark brown sugar.
  • Fresh ginger.
  • Fresh garlic cloves.
  • Scallions. A LOT OF SCALLIONS.
  • Toasted sesame seeds. If you can’t find them toasted, you can toast the seeds yourself on medium heat in a nonstick skillet for 3-5 minutes. Just be sure to move them around so they don’t burn.
  • An instant ramen packet. Beef or chicken flavor are good for this recipe. If you want to watch your sodium, you can omit the flavor packet entirely.

Making the Mongolian sauce

The Mongolian sauce for these egg rolls is not just a component of the egg rolls themselves, but also doubles as a dipping sauce! To make the quick and easy sauce, you will need:

Sesame oil.
Low sodium soy sauce.
Dark brown sugar.
Fresh ginger.
Fresh garlic cloves.

All you need to do is whisk the ingredients together well! Be sure the reserve half of the sauce for dipping. The sauce can be made a day or two in advance, if you like.

Assembling the Beef egg rolls

After you’ve cooked the Mongolian beef filling, you’ll mix it with cooked instant ramen noodles, toasted sesame seeds, and some extra thinly sliced scallions. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into the center of each egg roll wrapper, and roll them up! For a detailed view of how to wrap egg rolls, see my Reuben Egg Rolls recipe!

Deep frying the egg rolls

To deep fry the egg rolls:

Heat about 2″ of neutral oil in a heavy bottomed skillet, such as a 10″ cast iron skillet. Heat the oil for 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat, until shimmering. Fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes a side, flipping once. For best results, drain the egg rolls on a wire rack, rather than on paper towels to retain their crispy texture.

Air frying the egg rolls

If opting to air fry the egg rolls, rather than deep fry:

Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees. Spray liberally on all sides with a neutral cooking spray, such as canola. Cook egg rolls for 3-4 minutes a side until crispy, checking on them every so often to ensure they are evenly browning.

Serving the egg rolls

To serve the egg rolls, cut them on a bias, and serve them alongside the reserved Mongolian sauce. The egg rolls are best served hot, but can also be briefly reheated in the oven, air fryer, or (as a last resort) the microwave.
