Description
A delicious and easy recipe for sticky beef noodles packed with flavor and colorful vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Beef strips (Substitute with chicken, shrimp, or tofu if desired.)
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce (Swap with tamari for a gluten-free option.)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (You can use brown sugar as an alternative.)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Garlic powder can be used in a pinch.)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (Fresh ginger is preferred.)
- 2 cups Mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, bok choy) (Customize with your favorite veggies.)
- 8 ounces Noodles (e.g., egg noodles, rice noodles) (Any pasta like spaghetti can work.)
- 2 tablespoons Oil (Choose a versatile oil like vegetable or sesame.)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (You can substitute with fresh herbs if desired.)
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Start by slicing your beef strips into thin pieces and chop your choice of colorful vegetables. Gather your sauce ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking experience.
- Cook noodles: Boil the noodles according to the package instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes. After draining, toss them with a bit of oil to keep them from sticking together.
- Sauté beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Sear the beef strips until they’re browned and slightly crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Use batches if necessary for even cooking, then set aside.
- Make sauce: In the same skillet, add a touch more oil if needed, and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and a little water, allowing the mixture to bubble and thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine: Add the sautéed beef and chopped vegetables into the skillet, tossing everything together to coat in that delicious sauce.
- Add noodles: Gently fold in the cooked noodles, mixing well until they’re thoroughly warmed and coated with the sticky sauce, around 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Plate your Sticky Beef Noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and crunch.
Notes
- This dish can be customized with different proteins or vegetables based on your preference.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure to use tamari instead of soy sauce.
