Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing your beef into thin strips, about half an inch wide.
  2. In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add your noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 6-8 minutes.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef strips and sear for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Toss in minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in the soy sauce and honey, stirring quickly. Add a splash of water to create a silky glaze, let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return the seared beef and your chopped vegetables to the skillet, stir well to coat everything evenly in the sticky sauce.
  7. Introduce the prepared noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently with the beef and vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  8. Plate your Sticky Beef Noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately.
