Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) beef (sirloin or ribeye, sliced thinly)
- 2 packs jjapaguri (chapagetti and neoguri instant noodles)
Vegetables:
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, mushrooms)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- Optional garnish: green onions
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds
Instructions
- Fill a pot with water and bring to a rolling boil, then carefully add the Jjapaguri noodles to cook according to the package guidelines.
- While noodles are simmering, warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Introduce sliced beef to the heated pan, allowing each piece to caramelize and develop a rich golden-brown exterior, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate minced garlic and mixed vegetables into the beef, stirring frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
- Enhance the skillet’s flavor profile by drizzling soy sauce, sprinkling black pepper, and adding a touch of sesame oil, then gently mix all ingredients to create a harmonious coating.
- Carefully drain the cooked noodles and transfer them directly into the skillet with the beef and vegetable mixture, using tongs to toss and evenly distribute the savory sauce.
- Transfer the completed Jjapaguri to serving plates, creating an appetizing presentation and optionally garnishing with freshly chopped green onions and a delicate sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Notes
- Customize your protein choice by swapping beef with tofu, chicken, or shrimp for dietary preferences or vegetarian options.
- Save cooking time by using pre-sliced beef or frozen mixed vegetables for quick meal preparation.
- Balance nutrition by adding extra vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for increased fiber and vitamins.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce and controlling the amount of added salt in the recipe.
