Spicy Garlic Beef Noodles: Bold, Flavorful, and Ready in 20 Minutes

Instructions:

  1. Prepare noodles:
    • Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Marinate beef:
    • In a bowl, toss beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let sit 5–10 minutes while preparing sauce.
  3. Make the sauce:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste, brown sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil.
  4. Cook the beef:
    • Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add oil and sear beef in batches for 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add garlic & sauce:
    • In the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic (and ginger, if using) for 30 seconds until fragrant.
    • Pour in the sauce and stir until it begins to bubble.
  6. Combine everything:
    • Add cooked noodles and beef back to the pan. Toss everything together until well coated and glossy.
  7. Serve:
    • Top with green onions, sesame seeds, or a sprinkle of chili flakes. Serve hot and enjoy that spicy garlic kick! 🌶️

💡 Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli.
  • You can use ground beef instead of sliced beef for an even quicker version.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less chili paste.
