  • Veggies:
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
  • 1 Ontario Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped gingerroot
  • 1 Ontario Greenhouse Red Pepper, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz (250 g) Ontario Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups (500 mL) broccoli florets
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 1 can (14 oz/398 mL) baby corn, drained
  • 1 pkg (12 oz/375 g) thin egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) soy sauce
  • 4 tsp (20 mL) oyster sauce
  • 4 tsp (20 mL) rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Place beef in freezer for 30 minutes or until slightly firm; slice into very thin strips, then halve strips. In large bowl, whisk cornstarch with soy sauce; toss with beef until coated. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. In large wok or nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; cook half of the beef for 2 to 3 minutes or just until browned. Transfer to plate and set aside. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.
  3. Veggies: In same wok, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onion, garlic and ginger, tossing constantly, for 1 minute or until softened. Add pepper, mushrooms and broccoli; cook, tossing constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in carrots and corn; cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until carrots are just tender.
  4. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions, reserving 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the cooking liquid. Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, sugar and sesame oil; add to wok along with reserved cooking liquid, noodles and beef. Cook, tossing constantly, for 2 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

- Garnish with cashews for added crunch, if desired.
- Serve with sambal oelek or Sriracha sauce for those who like it spicy.
- Use an assortment of mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster or portabello, if desired.
