  • 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

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside so they don’t overcook or stick.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine gochujang, honey, Chinese rice vinegar, and fish sauce. Mix well until smooth and set the sauce aside.
  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. Stir-fry the beef until it is 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 tablespoon of oil. Add grated ginger, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, mushrooms, and sliced onion. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 4-6 minutes, preserving their vibrant texture and flavor.
  5. Combine: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together over medium heat, ensuring the noodles and beef are evenly coated with the sauce and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added crunch and freshness. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the egg noodles with rice noodles and ensure the fish sauce and gochujang are gluten-free.
  • You can swap the beef for chicken, pork, or tofu as preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the heat level of the dish.
  • Use fresh vegetables to maintain a crisp texture; avoid overcooking.
  • Sesame oil can be drizzled at the end for added flavor if desired.
  • Leftovers keep well and can be reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
