  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice vinegar (substitute: cider or white wine vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the gochujang, honey, Chinese rice vinegar, and fish sauce. Stir well to blend all ingredients into a harmonious and flavorful sauce. Set aside for later use.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the thinly sliced beef with salt and pepper. Add the beef to the hot skillet and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add grated ginger, julienned carrots, sliced red bell pepper, mushrooms, and sliced onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, until they become tender-crisp yet still vibrant.
  5. Combine: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss well over medium heat to combine all the ingredients evenly and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve: Transfer the combined noodles, beef, and vegetables to serving plates. Garnish generously with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added texture and fresh flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more gochujang or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Substitute sirloin or ribeye steak with flank steak or skirt steak if preferred.
  • Use gluten-free noodles to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Make sure not to overcook the vegetables to maintain their crunch and vibrant color.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
