Ingredients
300 grams flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
200 grams lo mein or udon noodles, cooked
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 stalks green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
1. Slice the beef thinly against the grain and toss it with cornstarch. Let it rest for 10 minutes to tenderize and crisp up during cooking.
2. Boil the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
3. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger to make the sauce.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
5. Stir-fry the red bell pepper (if using) in the same skillet for about 2 minutes.
6. Return the noodles and beef to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss until evenly coated and heated through.
7. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and top with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
Notes
Freeze the beef for 10–15 minutes before slicing—it makes cutting easier and more precise.
Use a large skillet or wok to ensure high heat and even cooking.
Add chili flakes or Sriracha to the sauce if you prefer a spicier kick.
