Instructions
Preparation

- Boil water in a large pot. Once boiling, add egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 5-6 minutes.
- While the noodles are cooking, thinly slice the beef against the grain for optimal tenderness.
- Prepare the sauce mixture by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil in a separate bowl.
- Chop green onions and mince garlic. Set aside.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil if necessary.
- Add the sliced beef to the skillet in a single layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the sauce mixture and bring it to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
- Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the noodles thoroughly in the sauce and beef. Cook for another minute until heated through.
Serving
- Remove from heat and transfer the sticky beef noodles to a serving platter.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the mouthwatering flavors!
Notes
For best texture, avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking the beef. Try using whole wheat egg noodles for a fiber boost. Store any leftovers in airtight containers for quick meals throughout the week.
