Instructions
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the ramen and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions – the noodles will cook more in the sauce. Drain the noodles and rinse them well under cold water.
8 ounces ramen noodles
While the water is heating, make the sauce. Put the cornstarch into a bowl or 2-cup measuring cup and add a splash of the beef broth. Mix until it's combined and then add the remaining sauce ingredients and mix once more.
2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 cup beef broth, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons EACH: honey and toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons minced ginger, 4 cloves garlic
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Work in two batches so you don't crowd the pan. Add half of the beef and sear it until it begins to brown then remove it from the pan. Sear the other half of the beef then remove it.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 lb beef top sirloin
Add the snap peas, mushrooms, carrots, pepper, and onion and stir fry until the veggies begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
2 cups snap peas, 2 cups sliced mushrooms, 2 medium carrots, 1 medium red pepper, 1 medium onion
Add the cooked noodles and beef to the pan. Give the sauce a quick stir then pour it into the pan. Let it come to a boil to thicken the sauce then mix everything together. Serve with some green onions and sesame seeds over the top.
