Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) steak, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Noodles and Vegetables:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) noodles
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare rice noodles according to package directions, ensuring they are al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent further cooking.
- Heat sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic, sliced bell peppers, and chopped onions, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until vegetables become translucent and slightly caramelized.
- Introduce thinly sliced steak to the pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes until edges turn golden brown and meat develops a rich sear. Push meat to one side of the skillet.
- Add raw shrimp to the cleared area of the pan, cooking for 1-2 minutes until they transform from gray to vibrant pink and curl slightly.
- Pour soy sauce and oyster sauce over the meat and seafood, creating a glossy coating. Gently fold in cooked noodles, ensuring each strand gets evenly coated with the savory sauce.
- Toss all ingredients together for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and noodles to absorb the sauce’s richness.
- Transfer to serving plates immediately, garnishing with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal. Serve piping hot for maximum flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Perfectly time your cooking to prevent overcooking shrimp, which can quickly become rubbery and lose its delicate texture.
- Use high-heat cooking to achieve a beautiful sear on steak and create those delicious caramelized edges that enhance overall flavor.
- For gluten-free adaptation, swap regular soy sauce with tamari and use rice noodles instead of wheat-based noodles.
- Consider marinating steak and shrimp beforehand in a mixture of garlic, ginger, and light soy sauce to intensify the protein’s flavor profile and tenderness.
