Cooking Instructions:
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine your choice of marinade ingredients such as soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, and sesame oil. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Slice the beef into thin strips and coat it thoroughly with the marinade. Place the beef in the refrigerator and let it marinate for about 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
While the beef is marinating, cook or soak the noodles based on the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Chop all the vegetables, including green peppers, spring onions, red chilli, garlic, ginger, capsicums, mushrooms, onions, and carrots, and have them ready for stir-frying.
In a hot pan, add oil and stir-fry the marinated beef until it's crispy and browned. Once cooked, remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, and stir-fry the chopped vegetables until they become softened.
Add the cooked noodles and your prepared sauce ingredients to the pan with the vegetables. Stir to combine everything well.
Finally, return the cooked beef to the pan, mixing everything together until the beef, vegetables, and noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Serve the stir fry hot, garnished with spring onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Extra Tips:
To achieve the best results, make sure your pan is smoking hot before adding the beef. This will help create a crispy texture and prevent the meat from steaming.
Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking the beef or vegetables, as this can lead to uneven cooking.
Feel free to customize your stir fry by adding different vegetables or adjusting the sauce ingredients to suit your taste. This recipe is inspired by the Chinese velveting technique, which ensures the beef remains tender and flavorful.
Enjoy your beef stir fry with a side of rice or on its own for a delightful meal!
