🔪 Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

Coat the sliced sirloin with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. This step helps keep the beef juicy while giving it a lightly crisp finish.

2. Sear the Beef

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the beef for 2–3 minutes until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Add the remaining oil to the pan. Cook the bell pepper and broccoli for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until aromatic.

4. Prepare the Sauce

Mix lime juice, dark soy sauce, and sugar until fully dissolved. This forms the sticky, sweet-and-savory sauce.

5. Bring It Together

Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce, then add chilies and spring onions. Stir well until everything is evenly coated and the sauce thickens slightly.

6. Add the Noodles

Add the egg noodles and toss until warmed through and fully coated in the glossy sauce.

7. Finish & Serve

Garnish with chili flakes, extra chilies, and spring onions. Serve immediately while hot and sticky.
