-
1 tsp minced garlic
-
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
-
1/2 cup water
-
1 tbsp cornstarch
For the Beef and Noodles:
-
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

-
2 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil

Instructions
Make the Sauce:
-
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, water, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
2. Cook the Beef:
-
Pat beef dry. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet or wok over high heat.
-
Add beef in a single layer. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Don’t overcrowd—cook in batches if needed.
-
Remove beef and set aside.
3. Cook the Noodles:
-
Boil noodles until just tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
4. Combine Everything:
-
Reheat the pan. Add sauce and bring to a simmer.
-
Return beef to the pan. Stir to coat.
-
Add noodles and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes. Let sauce thicken and cling to the noodles.
5. Serve:
-
Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
-
Slice beef thin for fast cooking.
-
Rinse noodles to stop cooking and reduce stickiness.
-
Make extra sauce if you like it extra saucy.
-
You can prep ahead and reheat with a splash of broth or water.
