Hoisin Beef Noodles
Ingredients:
8 ounces of rice noodles
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup snap peas
3 green onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
3. Add the red bell pepper, snap peas, green onions, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
5. Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together until heated through, about 2 minutes.
6. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
