Sticky Beef Noodles Dish (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 225g rice noodles
02 - 450g beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
03 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
04 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
05 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 - 120g broccoli florets
07 - 3 green onions, sliced
08 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
09 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

→ Sticky Sauce

10 - 60ml soy sauce
11 - 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
12 - 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
13 - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or lime juice
14 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
15 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
02 - Toss the sliced beef with the cornstarch, coating evenly. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
05 - Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the sticky sauce over everything. Toss well to combine, ensuring the noodles and beef are coated in the sauce.
06 - Divide the noodles among bowls and garnish with extra sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
