Ingredients

• ¼ cup water
• 2 teaspoons water
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• ¼ cup sake
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sake
• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• ½ teaspoon ginger paste
• 2 ½ teaspoons white sugar, divided
• 1 pound beef, sliced
• 14 ounces egg noodles

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Combine garlic and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in a zip-top bag. Mix in 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sake, and ginger paste. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce. Add beef in the remaining sauce. Let the meat marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the remaining marinade mixture to a saucepan. Add the remaining sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Combine remaining water and cornstarch. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is thickened. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and keep the sauce warm.

Step 4

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 1 minute. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the warmed sauce. Mix to combine.

Step 5

Assemble bowl with noodles and beef mixture. Serve immediately.
