Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 1/2 lb beef steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 medium eggplant, cut into thin rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms (shiitake or baby bella)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Noodles and Veggies (15 minutes): Cook rice noodles according to package directions, usually soaking them in hot water until softened. Drain and set aside. While the noodles are cooking, chop all your veggies.
  2. Stir-fry the Beef (5 minutes): In a large wok or frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and stir-fry until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Cook the Veggies (7-8 minutes): In the same pan, add another tbsp of oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add in the julienned carrot, mushrooms, and eggplant rounds, and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Then, introduce the bell peppers and continue to stir-fry until all vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine and Season (5-6 minutes): Return the cooked beef to the pan. Add in the drained rice noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Toss well to combine and ensure everything is heated through and well coated in the sauces. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Garnish and Serve (2 minutes): Transfer the stir-fried noodles to serving plates. Top with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of fish sauce to the dish. To introduce a kick, a few dashes of sriracha or some sliced chili peppers will do the trick. This stir fry pairs beautifully with a cold glass of white wine or a light beer.
