Description

Quick and easy Hoisin Beef Noodles recipe! Tender beef, silky noodles, and a rich hoisin sauce ready in just 30 minutes!


Ingredients

  • 8 oz (about 225g) ramen noodles (or any Asian-style noodles)

  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)


Instructions

Making Hoisin Beef Noodles at home is not only satisfying but extremely easy if you follow these steps carefully.

First, cook your noodles according to package instructions. Drain them and toss with a tiny drizzle of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch slurry. This will tenderize the beef beautifully while giving it a slightly crisp edge when stir-fried.

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, and once hot, add the beef in a single layer. Cook without stirring for about 1-2 minutes to get a good sear, then stir-fry for another minute until the beef is mostly cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add a splash more oil if needed. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Quickly add the bell pepper slices and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly softened.

Return the beef to the pan, then add hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and the remaining soy sauce. Stir everything to coat well. Add the noodles last, tossing everything together until evenly mixed and heated through. Finish with chopped green onions sprinkled on top.

 

And just like that, your irresistible quick beef stir fry noodles are ready to serve!

Notes

  • Overcooking the beef: Thin slices need only a minute or two. Overcooked beef becomes chewy and tough.

  • Using the wrong noodles: Stick with Asian-style noodles that can hold sauce well.

  • Skipping the cornstarch marinade: It helps the beef stay juicy and tender.

 

  • Crowding the pan: Cook in batches if necessary to get that golden sear on your beef.
