Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For tender beef, slice it against the grain. This will help to break down the muscle fibers and result in a more tender texture.
Tips & Tricks
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a dash of chili flakes or a sliced chili pepper during the stir-frying process.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
- For a smoky twist, you can grill the beef slices before stir-frying them.
- If you can't find flat rice noodles, you can substitute with wide rice noodles or even linguine.
- Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more or less honey according to your taste preference.
