Hoisin Beef Noodles Recipe

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Sauce

  • 8 oz flank or sirloin beef strips
  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)

Noodles

  • 8 oz egg noodles (or rice noodles for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 cup reserved noodle water

Aromatics and Vegetables

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 green onions, sliced

Oils

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Chop the bell peppers and green onions, and mince the garlic and ginger so everything is ready before cooking.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/4 cup of the pasta water for the sauce.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Brown the Beef: Add the sliced beef strips and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside to avoid overcooking.
  5. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the sliced bell peppers and cook just until tender-crisp, maintaining their vibrant color and crunch.
  6. Combine Everything: Return the beef to the pan, then add the cooked noodles. Pour in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and a splash of the reserved noodle water to create a silky coating and stir well.
  7. Finish with Sesame Oil and Green Onions: Drizzle sesame oil over the dish and stir everything together. Garnish with sliced green onions and chili flakes if using. Serve immediately straight from the pan.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain to keep it tender.
  • Use a hot pan to get a good sear and lock in flavor.
  • Don’t overcook vegetables; keep bell peppers crisp for texture contrast.
  • Taste the sauce before serving and adjust soy or hoisin sauce for your preferred flavor balance.
  • Fresh ginger and garlic greatly enhance the dish’s flavor intensity.
  • For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and rice noodles instead of egg noodles.
  • Leftovers store up to 3 days refrigerated; add water when reheating to prevent dryness.
  • This recipe freezes well for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating gently.
