Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 400 g (1 lb) steak, fat removed and cut into thin strips
- 300 g (11 oz) broccoli, or a whole head
- 160 g (6 oz) mange tout
- 250 g (9 oz) dried egg noodles
Sauce
- 1 tbsp ginger, crushed, fresh chopped or jarred
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 5 tbsp oyster sauce
- 6 tbsp dark soy sauce, reduced sodium
- 6 tbsp honey
- 6 tbsp tomato ketchup
To Serve
- 4 spring onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: Stir together all the sauce ingredients—ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, and tomato ketchup—in a small bowl and set aside.
- Soak the noodles: Place the dried egg noodles in a bowl and pour boiling water over them straight from the kettle. Cover the bowl with a plate and leave the noodles to soak while you cook the stir fry.
- Cook the beef: Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Add the steak strips and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Softening vegetables and noodles: Stir the noodles with a fork to ensure they soften evenly. Add the broccoli and mange tout to the pan with the beef and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Combine and coat: Drain the noodles well and add them to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly. Heat through for another minute.
- Serve: Serve the sticky beef and noodles immediately, garnished with thinly sliced spring onions and optional sesame seeds.
Notes
- Type of steak: Use any frying steak like flank, sirloin, or rump. Buying pre-cut strips or slicing yourself works fine.
- Cutting steak: Slice steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness by breaking down muscle fibers.
- Vegetables: Feel free to substitute or add any vegetables you have on hand; green vegetables pair best.
- Mangetout: Known as snow peas in the US.
- Spring onions: Also called scallions or green onions in the US.
- Saltiness: Use reduced sodium soy sauce or reduce the quantity if you prefer less salty dishes.
