30-Minute Ginger Beef Noodles
These quick and easy ginger beef noodles are ready to go in about 30 minutes – no take-out menu or Styrofoam containers required!
Ginger Beef Noodles
The day after hurtling through the skies from Colorado to North Carolina — which had me thankful for an early arrival and sort of scared for my life at the same time – I pulled out a pan and made these 30-minute ginger beef noodles. It’s a recipe that’d been rattling around in my head for several weeks and I was itchin’ to get to it.
I was inspired by a recipe I made last month for hot and sour soup, by way of Leite’s Culinara, a simple and clean version of one of my favorite Chinese take-out addictions. Stirring the soup stirred up some ideas for a new-to-me dish using several of the same ingredients. Like taking notes from a song and rearranging them to create a new tune, this ginger beef noodles recipe I’m sharing today is a delicious riff on the original inspiration.
Same notes, different song.
And like the hot and sour soup, these ginger beef noodles don’t require a bunch of time or crazy hard-to-find ingredients. It’s on the table in about 30 minutes — no take-out menus or Styrofoam containers required.
Some Ingredients You’ll Need
- I used skirt steak, but flank steak would work well, too. Slice it thin against the grain and it will cook in a flash. I like to toss the beef slices in corn starch to help keep the meat moist, but it also helps thicken the sauce.
- Rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sriracha are all you need for the sauce.
- Garlic and plenty of ginger. When I made the soup I used fresh ginger and saved the leftovers in the freezer. Use a spoon to scrape the skin off and grate or finely mince the ginger. Or look for the pureed ginger in a tube near the produce department if you don’t feel like dealing with fresh. It will work just the same.
- A sturdy long pasta or noodle with a bit of a chew works best. I used bucatini, because I have yet to learn about Asian noodles (for shame!) and always default to Italian pasta for my take-out inspired dishes.
- Broccoli and green onion add freshness and a pop of color. I used fresh broccoli florets, but substitute the same amount of frozen if it’s what you have on hand.
- Drizzle a touch of toasted sesame oil over the top of each serving.
Some Extra Tips
- Most of the work is in the prep and once you’re ready to cook it goes fast. Start your pasta water early to get it to a boil before you cook the beef and broccoli. The whole dish comes together in the time it takes to boil the pasta.
- If you like things on the spicier side increase the sriracha by a teaspoon or more to taste.
- This recipe serves four very hungry souls or six if there are sides (like pot stickers or egg rolls? Ooh, yes!).
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge. After reheating drizzle a little sesame oil over the top and toss to get a nice sheen on the noodles.
