# Ingredients:
→ Noodles & Vegetables
01 -
400g spaghettini pasta
02 -
1 small onion, thinly sliced into half moons (about 1 cup)
→ Beef & Marinade
03 -
500g beef steak (flank, sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain
04 -
1 teaspoon cornstarch
05 -
3 teaspoons of the soy sauce mixture
→ Sauce Mix
06 -
5 tablespoons regular soy sauce
07 -
1½ tablespoons dark soy sauce
08 -
1 tablespoon sugar
09 -
1 teaspoon oil plus 2-3 tablespoons for frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook the spaghettini according to package directions, but reduce cooking time by 1-2 minutes for al dente texture. Don't add salt to the water! When done, drain and lightly rinse to remove excess starch.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine the regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves and set aside.
03 -
Place your thinly sliced beef in a bowl. Add 2-3 teaspoons of the soy sauce mixture and the cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
04 -
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 3 minutes until soft and golden. Toss in the marinated beef and cook for another 3-5 minutes until browned. Finally, add the cooked spaghettini and the remaining soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until the noodles have absorbed the sauce and everything is evenly mixed.
# Notes:
01 -
This quick 15-minute beef noodle stir fry is perfect for busy weeknights when you need something delicious and satisfying in a hurry.
02 -
You can substitute the beef with chicken, pork, or tofu for different variations.
03 -
Spaghettini works best for texture - spaghetti is too thick and angel hair is too thin. Udon noodles are a great alternative if you have them.
