Spicy Broccoli Beef with Udon



This is an experimental dish made with tossing this and that into a pan and calling it golden. My hope is to use more noodles in recipes, because noodles are fun and tasty and they deserve their chance to be special too.

Yes, my food has feelings.



Spicy Broccoli Beef with Udon

8 oz udon noodles
1 large round steak, sliced into strips
1 head of broccoli, chopped

Sauce:
1 large clove garlic, minced
I tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp mirin
2 tsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp chili garlic sauce
½ cup water

Mix sauce ingredients together in small bowl; set aside.

Boil noodles according to package directions (~5-6 minutes).

In a wok over medium-high, heat 1 tbsp oil. Stir-fry meat until browned; remove. Add another tbsp oil and stir-fry broccoli until bright green, about 4 minutes. Return meat to the pan along with sauce; lower heat to low/medium. Cook for about 2 more minutes. Drain noodles and add to wok, mixing thoroughly.

Serves 2-3.
