Ingredients

Noodles

  • 8 ounces egg noodles

Beef

  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice vinegar (or cider/white wine vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce

Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced

Other

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 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 and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, and fish sauce. Stir well until smooth and set aside for later use.
  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 browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add grated ginger, julienned carrots, sliced red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and sliced onion. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Combine: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss everything together over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
  6. Serve: Transfer the noodles and beef mixture to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute rice vinegar with cider or white wine vinegar if unavailable.
  • Choose sirloin or ribeye for tender, flavorful beef slices.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang to make the dish more or less spicy according to your preference.
  • Use fresh vegetables for the best texture and flavor; frozen vegetables can make the dish watery.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
