Ingredients
For the Beef
- 300g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for coating)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Noodles
- 200g dried egg noodles or ramen noodles
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Pat the sliced beef dry with paper towels and coat evenly with the flour or cornstarch. This will help achieve a crispy texture when fried.
- Fry the beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the coated beef slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Cook the noodles: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Adjust the taste if necessary, adding more honey for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness.
- Combine and toss: Return the skillet to medium heat, add the fried beef and pour the honey soy sauce over it. Toss quickly to coat the beef evenly in the sauce.
- Mix with noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and the beef is evenly distributed. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Transfer to serving plates and enjoy your flavorful Honey Soy Crispy Beef & Noodles immediately.
Notes
- For extra crunch, double coat the beef with flour or cornstarch before frying.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli to increase nutrition and add color.
- Adjust honey and soy sauce quantities to suit your taste preference for sweetness and saltiness.
- Use high heat to achieve a crispy texture without overcooking the beef.
- To keep noodles from sticking, toss them with oil right after draining.
