Ingredients
- 2 ounces thin rice noodles
- 1 lb sirloin tip cut into 1 inch strips, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil divided, generic cooking oil
- 1 cup pepper matchsticks
- 1 cup carrot thinly sliced, coins
- ½ cup shiitake mushroom fresh or dried and rehydrated (see note, sliced
- 1 cup snow peas halved if large
- 1 shallot finely chopped, large
- 2 garlic minced, large cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Sauce:
- lime juice from 1
- 2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 2 Tablespoons tamari or soy sauce or coconut aminos
- ¼ cup mushroom water see note, or stock
Instructions
- Soak the rice noodles in water while you prepare the rest of the stir fry.
- On medium-high, heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large sautee pan. Add steak strips, salt them and cook, stirring, until browned on all sides. Remove and reserve the steak and any juices.
- Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the vegetables and sautee until almost tender.
- Add the garlic, ginger and red pepper and cook another minute or two. Add the sauce ingredients and cook until the flavors are blended.
- Add the meat back, then drain the noodles and add these too. Cook until everything is warm, then serve.
Notes
- I used dried shitake mushrooms, that I soaked to rehydrate. Then the flavorful soaking liquid went into the sauce.
