Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 400 grams Udon noodles
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dark soy sauce (optional, for color)
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Scallions, chopped
- 1 piece Red chili, sliced (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet or wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red chili (if using) for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Return the beef to the skillet and toss it in the sauce.
Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the fresh basil leaves and chopped scallions. Cook for 1 more minute to allow the basil to wilt slightly.
Remove from heat and serve the dish hot. Optionally, garnish with additional basil leaves or scallions.
