Description

This Oriental Beef with Rice Noodles is a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner that brings vibrant Asian flavors to your table. Lean beef strips are marinated in sake, ginger, and garlic to ensure tenderness and depth of flavor. The beef is then stir-fried with crisp bok choy, earthy straw mushrooms, and chewy rice sticks for a delightful textural contrast. The dish comes together in under an hour, making it perfect for busy evenings when you crave something hearty yet light. The aromatic combination of ginger and sake creates a savory sauce that clings beautifully to the noodles and vegetables. Serve this protein-packed meal straight from the wok for the best experience. It pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed rice or a simple green salad.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim fat from beef steak and cut beef diagonally into 1/4-inch strips.
  2. Mix beef strips, 2 tablespoons sake, chopped gingerroot, 2 teaspoons oil, salt, and garlic in a medium bowl.
  3. Cover and refrigerate the beef mixture for 30 minutes to marinate.
  4. Place rice sticks in a large bowl, cover with hot water, and let stand for 10 minutes.
  5. Drain the rice sticks well and chop them coarsely.
  6. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the beef mixture to the wok and stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until beef is cooked through.
  8. Add the prepared rice sticks, sliced bok choy, and drained straw mushrooms to the wok.
  9. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes or until the bok choy is crisp-tender.
  10. Sprinkle the mixture with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sake and toss to combine.

Note

For the sake, you can substitute with Sherry or chicken broth if you prefer a non-alcoholic option.

Two jars (4.5 ounces each) of whole mushrooms, drained, can be substituted for the straw mushrooms if needed.

Ensure the beef is cut thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Do not overcook the bok choy to maintain its vibrant color and crisp texture.
