Steak & Shrimp Noodles

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add steak, season with salt and pepper, and sear until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Cook the shrimp until pink and just opaque, about 2–3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Lower the heat slightly and add the garlic (and ginger, if using) to the skillet. Sauté briefly until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
  5. Add the cooked noodles and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss thoroughly until noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
  6. Return the steak and shrimp to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions or chives.

Variations :

  • Veggie-Packed: Add stir-fried bell peppers, shredded carrots, snap peas, or broccoli.
  • Spicy Style: Include red pepper flakes, chili paste, or sriracha in the sauce.
  • Different Proteins: Swap shrimp for scallops or steak for thin-sliced chicken or tofu.
  • Gluten-Free: Use rice noodles and gluten-free soy and hoisin sauces.

Tips :

  • Quick Prep: Have all your ingredients chopped and ready before cooking; stir-fries move fast.
  • High Heat Cooking: For a true restaurant-style char, use a wok or heavy skillet and cook over high heat.
  • Noodle Texture: Rinse cooked noodles with cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking before stir-frying.
  • Leftovers: Store in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
