Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 300 grams (10.6 ounces) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
Noodles and Base Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch ginger, grated
Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)
Garnish (Optional):
- Spring onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare rice noodles in boiling water according to package guidelines, ensuring they remain slightly firm. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Preheat a large wok or heavy-bottomed skillet with vegetable oil until surface shimmers with heat.
- Quickly sear beef strips over high temperature, stirring rapidly to achieve uniform caramelization. Transfer meat to a separate plate once browned.
- In the same cooking vessel, introduce minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced bell peppers. Sauté vegetables until they become crisp-tender with slight charring.
- Craft a glossy sauce by whisking together dark soy sauce, rich oyster sauce, sweet hoisin, golden honey, and cornstarch dissolved in water until smooth and integrated.
- Reintroduce seared beef into the vegetable mixture, then cascade the prepared sauce over ingredients. Stir continuously, allowing sauce to thicken and coat everything evenly.
- Gently fold noodles into the beef and vegetable mixture, ensuring each strand becomes luxuriously coated with the sticky, aromatic sauce.
- Transfer to serving plates, sprinkling with fresh chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for an extra layer of texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Prep noodles ahead of time to ensure they’re perfectly cooked and not mushy when added to the stir fry.
- Use high heat and a well-seasoned wok or non-stick skillet to achieve that authentic restaurant-style sear on the beef.
- Cut beef against the grain into thin, uniform slices for maximum tenderness and quick cooking.
- Customize the sauce by adjusting sweetness with honey or adding chili sauce for extra kick, making the dish adaptable to different taste preferences.
