Ingredients

  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang, Korean chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice vinegar, substitute: cider or white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Sesame seeds and green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Noodles:

  • Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce:

  • In a bowl, mix together gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, and fish sauce. Set aside.

Cook the Beef:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Season the beef slices with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
  • Add ginger, carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Combine:

  • Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
  • Add the cooked noodles and the prepared sauce.
  • Toss everything together over medium heat until well combined and heated through.

Serve:

  • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  1. Beef Selection: Freezing the beef for about 20 minutes before slicing can make cutting thin, even slices easier.
  2. Noodle Choice: While egg noodles are a great substitute, traditional sweet potato noodles can be used for an authentic touch if available.
  3. Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables like spinach, snap peas, or broccoli for added nutrition and color.
  4. Sauce Adjustments: If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of gochujang. For a sweeter taste, add a bit more honey.
