Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (such as flank steak or sirloin)
- 8 ounces of rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish
If you don’t have gochujang on hand, you can substitute with sriracha and a pinch of sugar for a similar kick!
Instructions
- Start by preparing the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, and sesame oil. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Return the beef to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce to coat well.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and the beef is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving. If you’re feeling extra fancy, garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness.
For an extra flavor boost, let the beef marinate in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. It’s a little tip I picked up from impromptu kitchen experiments!
