Notes
- For a different protein, use chicken, shrimp, or tofu instead of beef.
- Add snap peas, baby corn, or mushrooms for more vegetables.
- For a gluten-free version, swap soy sauce for tamari and use gluten-free pasta.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or soy sauce.
- If using frozen vegetables, make sure to thaw and drain them before stir-frying.
- Spaghetti, linguine, or rice noodles all work well for this dish.
- To make it spicy, add red pepper flakes or chili paste to taste.
- This dish can be made ahead and stored in the fridge, making it a great option for meal prep.
- If you prefer a saucier dish, feel free to double the sauce ingredients.
- Thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak is best for this stir-fry.
- Stir-fry vegetables over high heat to maintain their crispness, and don’t overcook.
- Spring rolls, cucumber salad, or miso soup make great sides.
- Add cashews or peanuts for extra crunch and flavor.
