Preparation

Preparing the Ingredients

1. Start by marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly.
2. While the beef is marinating, prepare the noodles according to their package instructions. Once cooked, rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and set them aside.
3. Ensure all other ingredients like spring onions, spinach, and carrots are chopped and ready to go.

Cooking Process

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef slices. Stir-fry until the beef is browned on all sides but not cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add a bit more sesame oil if necessary, then toss in the carrots and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
4. Add the beef stock to the pan and bring it to a simmer.
5. Return the beef to the pan, add the spinach, and cook for another 5 minutes or until the beef is tender and cooked through.
6. Stir in the noodles, incorporating them with the beef and veggies.
7. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste.
