Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 eggs, beaten
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Noodles and Sauce:
- 2 packages (3 oz / 85 g) ramen noodles
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp ginger, freshly grated
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to create a harmonious stir-fry sauce.
- Slice beef sirloin into ultra-thin strips, ensuring uniform cut for even cooking.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Rapidly sear beef strips for 2-3 minutes, creating a caramelized exterior while maintaining tender interior. Remove and set aside.
- In the same wok, scramble beaten eggs until just set, then transfer to a separate plate.
- Add sliced onions and minced garlic to the wok, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly translucent.
- Introduce broccoli florets, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender and vibrant green.
- Break ramen noodles into the wok, discarding seasoning packets, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Return beef and scrambled eggs to the wok, pour prepared sauce over ingredients, and toss vigorously to coat evenly.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken and ingredients to meld together.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds before serving hot.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting red pepper flakes to suit personal spice tolerance.
- Choose lean sirloin or flank steak for a tender, quick-cooking protein that absorbs marinades beautifully.
- Keep ingredients prepped and organized before cooking to ensure smooth, fast stir-frying without burning ingredients.
- Transform this recipe into a vegetarian version by substituting beef with tofu or tempeh, maintaining the same cooking technique for a protein-packed meal.
