Sweet and Spicy Honey Stir-Fry
As autumn inches toward winter, we're craving warmer, heartier meals at home. Our Sweet & Spicy Honey is great for summer BBQs and fried chicken dinners, but it also comes in handy when the weather turns colder - like in this cozy stir-fry recipe that comes together in a flash, with the perfect balance of sweetness and a little heat.
For the stir-fry (serves 3-4):
8 oz top sirloin, cut into thin strips and marinated (see below)
180 g udon noodles (two pre-sectioned bundles)
3 large carrots, julienned
2 cups napa cabbage, chopped
2 cups snow peas, chopped
Scallion whites, sliced crosswise
For the beef marinade:
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
For the sauce:
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c vegetable or beef broth
3 tbsp Björn's Sweet & Spicy Honey
1 tbsp grated ginger
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1-2 tsp oyster sauce
Velvet your sliced sirloin by massaging in marinade and letting sit for 30 minutes. While the meat is marinading, combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Heat high-temp oil in a large pan or wok. Add beef slices and cook for 30 seconds on each side, then remove. Add scallions and cook until tender, then add carrots and snow peas and cook until beginning to brown. Add beef, cabbage and stir-fry sauce and toss to combine. Cook until sauce is slightly thickened and ingredients are coated. Boil noodles separately until done, drain, and combine with meat and vegetables to serve. Enjoy!
