Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the *beef*, *salt*, *black pepper*, and *chili pepper*. Add the 40 milliliters of *soy sauce*, 20 grams of *cornstarch*, and the *egg yolk*. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Allow the beef to marinate for about 30 minutes. This step is crucial for ensuring a flavorful outcome.
Step 2
While the beef is marinating, chop the *bell peppers*, *Beijing cabbage*, *celery*, and *onion* into bite-sized pieces. Make sure to have all your *vegetables* ready before you start cooking, as this will make the process smoother.
In a pan, heat oil over medium heat and sauté all the chopped vegetables. Stir frequently until they soften, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the marinated beef to the other side. Allow it to sear for 3-4 minutes without stirring, so it gets a nice brown color.
Once browned, mix the beef together with the vegetables, add 1 tablespoon of *tomato paste* and the additional *soy sauce*. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cooked *noodles* to the pan along with 2 minced *garlic cloves* and another 20 milliliters of *soy sauce*. Toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and coated with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, making sure everything is well combined and hot.
Step 5
Once everything is cooked, transfer your savory beef and noodle stir fry to a serving plate. Serve hot, and enjoy this delicious meal with your loved ones!

Equipment
A wok is perfect for stir-frying your ingredients quickly while retaining their crunch. If you don't have one, a large non-stick skillet will work. Make sure it's hot before adding ingredients to achieve that ideal stir-fry.
A good sharp knife is essential for chopping the vegetables finely and getting the right texture. Keep it sharp for safety and efficiency in the kitchen!


Precision is key in cooking! Accurate measurements help maintain the balance of flavors in this dish, so don’t skip this step.



A mixing bowl will help you combine the marinade for the beef smoothly. A larger one is preferable to avoid spills.



Variations
Looking to switch things up? No problem! 💚 For a gluten-free version, simply substitute regular noodles with gluten-free rice noodles or zucchini noodles. This maintains the deliciousness while accommodating dietary needs.
If you're aiming for a vegan feast, replace the beef with tofu or tempeh, and use vegetable broth instead of soy sauce. 🥕🥬 Don't forget to load up on your favorite veggies, such as mushrooms, broccoli, or bell peppers, to keep it tasty and colorful!
Faq
- What’s the best way to cut the vegetables for even cooking?
Cut your vegetables into uniform sizes, about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and look great on the plate!
- How do I know when the beef is fully cooked?
The beef should be browned and no longer pink inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safety.
- Why did my noodles turn mushy?
Mushy noodles are often due to overcooking. Make sure to cook them just until al dente and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Can I prepare some of the ingredients in advance?
Absolutely! You can chop your vegetables and marinate your beef a few hours before cooking to save time. Just keep everything in the fridge until you’re ready to stir-fry!
- What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to keep the noodles from becoming too soft.
- How can I enhance the flavor further?
Add a splash of rice vinegar or a few drops of sesame oil to the pan right before serving for extra depth and aroma!
