Yields4 ServingsPrep Time10 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time30 mins

When you're craving takeout noodles, but want something a little healthier without sacrificing any of that flavor. Perfect for days when you just need to make something quick but still super delicious!

Ingredients
 1 lb fresh Shanghai-style noodles or Lo Mein egg noodles (or 1 lb dry spaghetti)
 2 tbsp oil
 skirt steak, slice thinly
 2 large carrots, sliced thin diagonally
 2 large handfuls of chopped cabbage
 4 tbsp soy sauce
 2 tbsp white granulated sugar
 1 ½ tbsp sriracha
 1 tbsp sesame oil
 2 tsp corn starch
 cilantro or green onions (for garnish)
 sesame seeds (for garnish)
Directions
1

Cook the fresh noodles or dried pasta according to its package instructions.

2

In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, sriracha, sesame oil, and corn starch. Make sure there are no chunks of corn starch floating around!

3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and saute until edges are mostly browned. Add in the vegetables (carrots and cabbage), and cook until tender.

4

Add the sauce mixture into the skillet. Once sauce is bubbling, stir in the cooked noodles until everything is evenly coated (~1 minute). Make sure to toss the noodles constantly as it can easily stick to the bottom of your skillet!

5

Top with sesame seeds, green onions, and/or cilantro before serving.
