Korean Stir-Fried Noodles (Chapchae)

I used skirt beef, sliced thinly. It’s good for stir fry. Flank beef works too. You might like to adjust the amount of light soy sauce to your liking.
If you’re into hot noodles, you might add some Korean chilli sauce.

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Yield: 2 to 3 serves

Ingredients:
  • 150 gm Korean sweet potato noodles
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1 garlic, sliced
  • 110 gm beef
  • 3 to 4 shiitake mushrooms
  • ½ carrot, julienned
  • ½ capsicum, julienned
  • sesame seeds, roasted, for garnish
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce,
  • sesame oil, to taste
Marinade:
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • ½ tsp corn flour / corn starch
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp oil
Sauce:
  • 2 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp water
  • 1 tsp sugar
Method:
  1. Mix the beef with the marinade. Set aside. Soak the shiitake mushrooms until soft. Then slice thinly. (Remark: You might like to retain the water to cook noodles or soup.)
  2. Cook the noodles in boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes. They will turn soft and almost transparent when cooked. Rinse in cold water and drain well. Use scissors to cut them a few times. Mix well with light soy sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a non-stick fry pan over medium heat. Fry whisked egg as omelette. Remove from pan, then cut into strips. Set aside.
  4. Saute the beef until almost cooked. Transfer to a plate. Add some more oil to sauté garlic until aromatic. Add carrot, capsicum and cook until soft. Toss back the noodles and heat evenly. Add the egg strips. Pour in the sauce. Stir to combine. Dish up. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately.
