Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili paste (adjust for spice level)
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness and mince the fresh garlic cloves for maximum flavor infusion.
  2. Cook Noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well, then toss with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking while you prepare the rest of the dish.
  3. Cook Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the beef is browned but still juicy inside. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 1 minute until it releases its fragrant aroma without burning.
  5. Make the Sauce: Stir in the chili paste, low-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, and a splash of water into the skillet. Mix everything well to combine all the flavors into a cohesive sauce.
  6. Toss Together: Return the cooked beef to the pan along with the cooked egg noodles. Toss all ingredients thoroughly in the sauce until the noodles and beef are evenly coated and heated through.

Notes

  • Adjust chili paste quantity to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness and make the dish healthier.
  • Make sure to slice beef against the grain for tenderness.
  • Egg noodles can be substituted with other noodles like ramen or rice noodles depending on your preference.
  • Adding a splash of water helps to loosen the sauce and coat the ingredients evenly.
