Description
A savory-sweet stir fry featuring translucent sweet potato glass noodles, caramelized beef, and vibrant vegetables, perfect for gatherings or weeknight meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces (340 g) sweet potato glass noodles (dangmyeon)
- 16 ounces (454 g) beef (flank steak or sirloin), cut into thin strips
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 mushrooms (shiitake or cremini), thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach (about 60 g)
- 2 stalks green onion, cut into 1–2 inch pieces
- 7 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1–2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil drizzle
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl; set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil sweet potato noodles for 10–15 minutes until tender but slightly chewy. Drain and rinse under cold water, cutting the noodles into manageable lengths if desired.
- Heat a nonstick pan with a little oil over medium heat. Pour in half the beaten eggs to make a thin crepe; cook until set, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining eggs, roll, and slice into thin strips.
- In the same pan, sear beef strips over medium-high heat until browned and slightly pink inside, about 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Stir-fry carrots for 1–2 minutes, add onion and cook until translucent, then add mushrooms and cook until they release juices. Add spinach and green onion tops, and toss until just wilted.
- In a large mixing bowl or back into the pan, combine drained noodles with the prepared sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Add beef, vegetable mix, and egg strips to noodles; gently toss to combine without overmixing.
- Transfer to plates or a serving platter, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Modify sweetness or add more vegetables based on preference.
