Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 300 grams (10.5 ounces) beef strips
- 200 grams (7 ounces) egg noodles
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
Proteins and Aromatics:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-inch ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare rice noodles according to package directions, ensuring they remain slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat a large skillet or wok to high heat, adding vegetable oil to create an even coating.
- Sear beef strips quickly, cooking for 2-3 minutes until edges caramelize and meat develops a rich brown color. Transfer to a separate plate.
- In the same hot skillet, introduce minced garlic, grated ginger, julienned bell peppers, and thinly sliced carrots. Stir-fry rapidly for 2 minutes to maintain vegetable crispness.
- Return beef to the skillet, creating a flavor foundation with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and honey. Toss ingredients to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Create a cornstarch mixture with water, then pour into the skillet to transform the liquid into a glossy, clingy sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Incorporate cooked noodles, gently folding them through the meat and vegetables to ensure complete sauce coverage.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the dish for a final aromatic and textural flourish. Serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Choose tender beef cuts like sirloin or flank steak for the most succulent and quick-cooking results.
- Slice beef against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and prevent chewy texture.
- Prep all ingredients before cooking to maintain high heat and prevent burning during stir-frying.
- Customize sauce sweetness by adjusting honey levels or substituting with maple syrup for alternative dietary needs.
