Ingredients
Noodles
- 200 g noodles
Beef and Sauce
- 300 g beef (thinly sliced, preferably flank steak)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
Vegetables and Garnish
- 1 bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside to cool slightly.
- Brown Beef: Heat the oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned on all sides but still tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan with the beef, sautéing briefly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Sauces and Sweetener: Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey (or brown sugar) to coat the beef evenly in the sticky sauce.
- Cook Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
- Combine Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the beef, vegetables, and noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve the sticky beef noodles hot.
Notes
- Use flank steak for best results as it cooks quickly and remains tender.
- Add chili flakes or fresh chili if you prefer a spicy kick.
- Avoid overcooking the beef to maintain tenderness.
- Feel free to substitute noodles with rice noodles or your preferred type.
