Beef vegetable noodle stir fry - A quick and easy Chinese inspired beef stir fry with a medley of vegetables served over gluten free noodles
I never used to be a fan of stir fry until my mother won me over with her Chinese inspired stir fry. My mother is the type of person who likes to put her own culinary spin on many recipes and of course being her daughter and a foodie at that, it makes perfect sense for me to follow suit with this beef vegetable noodle stir fry.
Making beef vegetable noodle stir fry with gluten free noodles
Now the most important aspect of this dish is the gluten free noodles which are mostly vegetable based.
Yes the noodles are free from wheat and very tasty too especially when added to a recipe such as this one. I'm sure you're probably wondering which brand of noodles did I use?
Well the answer to that is King Soba's gluten free and organic sweet potato & buckwheat noodles.
I purchased them from Asda but you can also purchase them from Amazon if you wish. They cook very quick and because of that, I only par-boiled them for just under 2 minutes so they wouldn't become too soft and limp in the pan.
The taste and texture is pleasant and the packet is is divided into 3 usable portions. The noodles are grey in colour which might seem unappealing but in the grand scheme of things, let's be thankful that they are gluten free. One tip when boiling the noodles, add a splash of olive oil to the saucepan as this will prevent the noodles from lumping together.
Homemade seasoning for the beef vegetable noodle stir fry
I like my beef seasoned so I used the dry rub that featured in my egg white philly cheese omelette recipe.
For you this recipe, you don't need to leave the meat to infuse for several hours or overnight.
Tenderising the beef - tips
Use a tenderiser mallet to breakdown the rough cuts of beef and season accordingly and set aside.
What vegetables can I add to this recipe
As this is an Asian inspired recipe and traditional, You can use whatever veggies you like.
- Sweetcorn
- cauliflower
- celery
- mangetout
- water chestnuts and so on.........
I used broccoli, bell peppers along with shredded carrots. I Cut them into small bitesize pieces so they were able to cook thoroughly in the wok/pan.
For the Steak dry rub – 2 tablespoon paprika, 2tbsp black pepper, 1 tablespoon himalayan pink salt, 1 tablespoon garlic granules/powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1tsbp coriander, 1tbsp chives, 1 tbsp, red pepper flakes
This beef noodle stir fry is...........
