Cup of Yum
These steps can be done simultaneously:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the dried rice noodles to the pot. Cook for 6 minutes before draining and rinsing under running water. Drizzle and coat the noodles with a bit of sesame oil to help keep the noodles from sticking.
- Heat up a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet and add the marinaded beef to it in a single layer. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, it does not have to be cooked all the way through. Set aside on a plate. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to do it in batches. I cook my beef in 2 batches.
- Give the pan a quick wipe with a paper towel and add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the sliced onions and saute them for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly fried.
- Add the rice noodles to the skillet and gently spread them out in the skillet.
- Add the sauce to the noodles and toss until well combined.
- Add the sliced beef and green onions to the noodles and toss until the green onions are softened and everything is evenly mixed.
Notes
- If you would like to add bean sprouts, you can add them into the skillet after the onions.
- For softer green onions, add them after the onions.
