Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 12 ounces beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 3 cups unsalted chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until pliable, then drain.
In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the unsalted chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet, stirring until the sauce thickens.
Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet along with the low sodium soy sauce and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients, allowing the noodles to absorb some of the sauce.
Return the beef to the skillet and mix well, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro, if using, before serving.
