Description
Sticky beef noodles are a fast and flavorful one-pan meal with tender beef, a glossy sweet-savory sauce, and noodles that soak up every bit of deliciousness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (flank steak or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for marinating)
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 8 ounces cooked noodles (rice noodles, lo mein, or spaghetti)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Toss the beef with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Let sit while you prepare the sauce.
- In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, remaining soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned and slightly crispy.
- Pour in the sauce and cook, stirring, until it thickens and coats the beef.
- Add cooked noodles and toss to combine until fully coated and heated through.
- Top with green onions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes if using. Serve hot.
Notes
