Instructions
- Thinly slice flank steak against the grain on an angle into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Tip: To thinly slice beef, freeze beef for 60 minutes uncovered and then cut with a sharp knife.
- Transfer sliced beef to a large bowl. Add beef marinade ingredients as listed and mix into beef. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- In a small bowl, combine the noodle sauce ingredients as listed above. Set aside.
- In a large wok or pot filled with enough water, bring to a boil. Blanch fresh egg noodles in boiling hot water until loosened, about 20 to 30 seconds.
- Strain noodles and rinse them under cold running water. Strain out any excess water. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Fry the beef until cooked. Then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add carrots, red bell pepper, cabbage, followed by cold water. Cook until vegetables are vibrant, about 30-60 seconds.
- Toss in noodles with the noodle sauce and stir fry until there are no liquids in the base of the pan. Note: The sauce will thicken a bit so they can easily coat the noodles. Toss back in cooked beef and green onions. Once mixed, remove off heat. Enjoy!
