Ingredients

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- 7 ounces (200 grams) broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger, minced
- 6 tablespoons lime juice
- 6 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1–2 red chilies, finely chopped (+ more for garnish)
- 4 spring onions, cut into 2-centimeter pieces (+ more for garnish)
- 14 ounces (400 grams) fresh egg noodles

Optional substitutions:

- To make it vegan, swap the steak for tofu or seitan and use vegetable broth instead of soy sauce.
- Add mushrooms, zucchini, or snap peas to incorporate more vegetables.
Instructions
- Coat the Beef:
Begin by tossing your thinly sliced sirloin steak in a bowl with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Ensure the strips are evenly coated, which helps them crisp up nicely when cooked. - Cook the Beef:
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and wait until it’s hot. Add the beef strips to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring they are browned and crispy. Once done, remove the beef and set it aside. - Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add your sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain a bit of crunch. - Prepare the Sauce:
In a bowl, combine lime juice, dark soy sauce, sugar, and finely chopped chilies. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. Pour this sauce mixture into the pan with the vegetables and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly. - Cook the Noodles:
While the sauce is simmering, cook your egg noodles in boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles once they are tender, and set them aside. - Combine Everything:
Return the crispy beef to the pan with the vegetables and sauce. Add the cooked noodles and spring onions. Toss everything together, making sure the noodles and beef are fully coated in the sticky sauce. - Garnish and Serve:
Divide the sticky beef noodles into bowls and garnish with chili flakes, extra chopped chilies, and spring onions for a pop of color and added flavor.
Enjoy your delicious Sticky Beef Noodles, perfect for any meal of the week!

- Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic, ginger, and vegetables will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of the dish. Opt for freshly minced garlic and ginger rather than pre-minced for the best results.
- Customize the Heat: Adjust the number of red chilies based on your spice tolerance. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the chili quantity, or add extra if you love spice!
- Cooking Beef: For the crispiest beef, ensure your pan is hot before adding the steak. Stir-frying the beef in small batches can also help achieve even browning.
