Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Start by cooking the flat rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. If using linguine or fettuccine, make sure to cook them al dente.
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine thinly sliced beef with a tablespoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes while you prep the rest.
- Heat the Pan: In a large wok or skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!
- Add Vegetables: Add your chosen vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas) to the pan and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp.
- Combine Everything: Return the beef to the pan. Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste, and a splash of water to help combine. Toss everything together for about 2-3 minutes until well-coated and heated through.
- Finish with Fresh Herbs: Turn off the heat and fold in fresh basil and chopped chili peppers. Adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more soy sauce or chili paste to taste.
- Serve: Plate your Italian Drunken Noodles Bold Spicy while hot. Garnish with additional basil and chili for an extra kick!
