Udon Noodle Stir Fry Beef

Steps

1. 1

   Prep all of your veggies because once you start cooking it will go by very fast. Slice your onions, julienne carrots, slice mushrooms, and cut bell pepper into strips. If you need to thinly slice your beef, do it now.

2. 2

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the 4 bricks of frozen udon noodles and cook for a couple of minutes until tender.

3. 3

   Once the noodles are done cooking, rinse and drain well under cold water. To prevent noodles from sticking, drizzle some sesame oil all over and give it a nice mix.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: 1 TBSP brown sugar, 3 tsp dark soy sauce, 3 tsp low sodium soy sauce, 4 tsp rice vinegar, 2 TBSP oyster sauce, 1 TBSP sesame oil, and salt and black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   In a pan or wok, heat up some olive oil and saute your minced garlic until fragrant.

   Add the thinly sliced beef, spreading it out into a nice even layer. Leave to cook untouched for a couple of minutes or until it starts to brown.

7. 7

   Season the beef with salt and black pepper to taste, 2 tsp soy sauce, and 2 tsp dark soy sauce. Mix well and cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the beef from the heat and set aside.
