Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound Flank Steak (or pork chops, or chicken) Sliced Very Thin Against The Grain
  • ½ cups Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons Sherry
  • 2 Tablespoons Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Ginger (or ½ tbsp dried)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chile Paste (or A Few Dashes Red Chile Oil, Chili sauce, or hot sauce – we use Sirracha)
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegitable Oil
  • 1 whole Medium Yellow Onion Sliced
  • 2 whole Red Bell Peppers, Cored And Sliced Into Rings
  • 1 lb asian style noodles of your choice (we use Udon generally, but any will do)

And optionally:

  • 1 Tablespoon Diced Fresh Jalapeno (or 1 Teaspoon Dice Hot Pepper)
  • Red Pepper Flakes, For Sprinkling
  • Cilantro Leaves

Preparation Instructions

Mix together soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and chili paste (or chili oil/sauce/etc.) Place sliced meat in the mixture and toss to coat. Set aside.

Set some water on to boil for noodles.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. When it is very hot, throw in the onions and cook until soft. Remove to a separate plate. Return skillet to flame, allow to reheat, and add bell peppers (and hot pepper/jalapeno if using.) Cook, tossing, until peppers have brown/black bits but are still firm. Remove and keep with onion.

Return skillet to heat and allow to get hot. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the meat mixture, evenly distributing over the surface of the skillet as much as will allow and cook until brown (or for chicken, until firm). Repeat with remaining meat until all brown.

Reduce heat to low. Add all meat, onions, and peppers to the skillet and toss to combine. Pour in remaining sauce (the sauce the meat marinated in) and stir. Allow to simmer on low for a few minutes. Sauce will slowly thicken. Turn off heat.

Turn off boiling water, then throw in noodles. Stir, then allow noodles to sit in hot water for the recommended time from the package directions. Drain, then add the noodles to stir fry, tossing until completely coated.  Add pepper flakes and cilantro if desired.  Serves 4.
