Ingredients

  • 2 ounces thin rice noodles
  • 1 lb trimmed sirloin tips cut into 1 inch strips
  • 2 tablespoons oil divided
  • 1 cup pepper matchsticks
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrot coins
  • ½ cup sliced shitake mushrooms fresh or dried and rehydrated (see note)
  • 1 cup Snow peas halved if large
  • 1 large shallot finely chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Sauce:
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Tablespoons tamari or soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • ¼ cup mushroom water or stock see note

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak the rice noodles in water while you prepare the rest of the stir fry.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the vegetables and sautee until almost tender.
  4. Add the garlic, ginger and red pepper and cook another minute or two. Add the sauce ingredients and cook until the flavors are blended.
  5. 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.
