Mongolian Beef and Broccoli with Noodles
Description
Mongolian Beef and Broccoli with Noodles combines marinated slices of beef with crisp broccoli florets in a rich sauce incorporating soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sriracha, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. The dish begins with sautéing the beef until browned, then the broccoli is added to retain some crunch. A cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce after it has been boiled to concentrate flavors. Finally, cooked ramen noodles are folded in to absorb the thick sauce, unifying the elements. Garnished with green onion, the dish has a balance of sweet, salty, and mildly spicy notes with contrasting textures from tender meat, crisp vegetable, and slippery noodles.
This stir fry serves as a complete meal by itself, great for a nostalgic Asian-inspired dinner that uses common pantry staples. It pairs well with simple sides like steamed rice or a light cucumber salad.
For a spicier version, crushed red pepper flakes can be added to the sauce. Using low sodium soy sauce helps control saltiness, and cooking noodles just until tender keeps them from becoming mushy when combined in the sauce.
