Ingredients

• 300 grams Lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 200 grams Brown rice noodles (Kway Teow)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce, low-salt
• 100 grams Bean sprouts
• 3 pieces Spring onions, sliced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 100 grams Spinach leaves
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the brown rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil along with the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced red bell pepper to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes, then add the spinach and cook until wilted.

Step 5

Return the beef to the skillet, then add the cooked noodles. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, and crack the black pepper over the mixture. Toss everything together, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are well coated in the sauce.

Step 6

Stir in the bean sprouts and sliced spring onions, tossing them quickly with the rest of the ingredients for an additional minute.

Step 7

Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil for flavor.

Step 8

Serve the Beef Kway Teow hot, optionally garnished with additional sliced spring onions.
